Coupling crack/Temperature

I am studying the propagation of a XFEM crack using "Predefined fields> Temperature".(Predefined Fields can be found just after 'BCs')

I would like to know if the temperature has an impact on the crack behaviour in this case ? Is it a good way to do the coupling crack/temperature ?
