Next, we need to select the boundary for the boundary condition. Click the point selection filter and select the right point of the line body. In the Details window, select Accept Geometry > Apply. Now, specify the temperature Magnitude to 122.

Elasticity Boundary Conditions

Now, we have to specify the boundary conditions that will affect the elasticity solution to this simulation. In the Outline window, click on Image Added to bring up the structural environment menu bar. In the structural environment, select Supports > Fixed Support. Ensuring that the point selection filter Image Added is selected, select the right side of the bar, and in the details window select Geometry > Apply.

Next, we need to specify a displacement constraint to represent the gap in the wall. In the Structural Environment menu, select Supports > Displacement. In the Details window, change the X Component from Free to 0.002 m. Also, select the right point of the bar using the point selection filter, and select Geometry > Apply.
