This form is used to set up the parameters for the analysis, and will submit the job to the Patran Thermal solver.
Restart File
Pthermal can be restarted with initial temperatures based on a nodal results file from a previous execution. If a nodal results file is specified it will be used to define initial temperatures for the new run. If it is desired to continue with a given file numbering sequence, it can be specified. The time of the restart file will be the new time associated with the current analysis unless the user defines a new time. The restart case will ignore the temperature specifications unless one flags that the initial temperatures are to over write the restart temperatures.The new initial temperatures can be for any of the nodes.
