Next, hold down *Control* and click on the top and left sides of the rectangle. The purpose of holding down *Control* is that it allows you to select multiple items. Then, {color:#990099}{*}_(Click) Apply{_}{*}{color} in the "Details of Heat Flow" table.

h4. Constant Temperature Boundary
The bottom side of the rectangular domain has a constant temperature of {latex}\theta=1{latex}
