Thermal material

Not a setup-tree node. Embedded in the application.

The solver wants the product ρ·Cp, which is what actually sets the time constant. Both are asked for here because that is how they are published.

The application reports no problems against this step.


… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
