# rblock thermal attribute command

Syntax

rblock thermal attribute keyword ... <range>

Primary keywords:

Set the value of rigid block thermal attributes. This command is a synonym for the rblock thermal initialize command. Individual attributes can be listed with the rblock thermal list command, and all rigid block thermal attributes can be visualized.

Note

Similar to rigid block attributes and properties, there is a fundamental distinction between rigid block thermal attributes and rigid block thermal properties. Rigid block thermal attributes are characteristics of the thermal rigid blocks, such as temperature or power.

expansion f [rbtmodblock]

thermal expansion coefficient

power-applied f [rbtmodblock]

applied power

specific-heat f [rbtmodblock]

specific heat

temperature f [rbtmodblock]

temperature

temperature-increment f [rbtmodblock]

temperature increment since last mechanical coupling
