Temperature in MAT1 card

Hi Users
This might be a basic question. I have the following material properties for a material at 10 degree Farenheit (Temperature). Where should I enter 10F in the MAT1 card?

RE: Temperature in MAT1 card

Hi,

If you want to enter the Thermal expansion coefficient you have to put your value on the "block" number 7. and if you want to put the Reference temperature (TREF) for the calculation of thermal loads, or a temperature-dependent thermal expansion coefficient put the value on the block 8.
