GeometricThermalICs Properties

Initial temperature over a region or region boundary

Domain-specific heat transfer workflow is not recommended. New features might not be compatible with this workflow. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.

A GeometricThermalICs object contains a description of the initial temperature over a geometric region or a boundary of the region. A ThermalModel container has a vector of GeometricThermalICs objects in its InitialConditions.ThermalICAssignments property.

Set initial conditions for your model using the thermalIC function.

`RegionType` — Region type
`'Vertex'` | `'Edge'` | `'Face'` | `'Cell'`

Region type, specified as 'Vertex', 'Edge', or 'Face' for a 2-D or 3-D region, or 'Cell' for a 3-D region.

Data Types: char | string

`RegionID` — Region ID
vector of positive integers

Region ID, specified as a vector of positive integers. To determine which ID corresponds to which portion of the geometry, use the pdegplot function and setting the 'FaceLabels' name-value pair to 'on'.

Data Types: double
