Thermal flow boundary condition feature of a line.

Property	Long name	Unit	Description
Name	Name	-	Name of the thermal flow boundary condition.
Comments	Comments	-	Comments on the thermal flow boundary condition.
Parent	Parent	-	Name of the line where the thermal flow boundary condition feature is applied to.
Behaviour	Behaviour	-	Closed Prevents thermal flow through this boundary. Temperature Prescribes a certain temperature in this boundary. Inflow Allows inflow through this boundary. Outflow Allows outflow through this boundary. Convection Allows convection through this boundary. Constant value from previous phase The boundary condition is set to the same value as the previous phase. Maintain function from previous phase The boundary condition continues calculating with the same function as the previous phase.
Distribution	Distribution	-	Uniform The distribution is set to uniform. Vertical increment The distribution is increases or decreses along the vertical boundary. Horizontal increment The distribution is increases or decreses along the horizontal boundary. Start/end values The distribution is varies according to the start and end values.
Time dependency	Time dependency	-	Constant The value in the thermal boundary does not change with time. Time-dependent The value in the thermal boundary varies with time.
