Thermal materials

All materials, which are used in the thermal model, are listed below. The structure of the corresponding xml elements and a code snippet are given for each material.

Abstract

All material are listed in the <ThermalMaterials>-node, which can be found in the root node of the xml file (within the <Configurations>-node). The attribute "cache='true'" has to be set for all materials.
