Specifying Initial Temperature

Begin by selecting "Initial Temperature" from the "Active Data" selector.

You may now:

• Draw contours
• Reshape a contour
• Move contours
• Insert a vertex on a contour
• Change value of contour
• Delete contours

Notes:

• A contour must not intersect itself or other contours.
• Contour values may be shown or hidden by toggling the button.
• An open contour line should not end inside the domain. In other words, both endpoints of the contour line should fall outside the domain.
• The initial temperature at a point in the domain is estimated from the contours by using one of the interpolation methods.
