The thermal solution has now been obtained. If you plot the steady-state temperature on the
link, you will see it is a uniform 348 K, as expected. This information is saved in a file
labelled Jobname.rth, were .rth is the thermal results file. Since the jobname wasn't changed
at the beginning of the analysis, this data can be found as file.rth. We will use these results in
determining the structural effects.
