Follow the next steps to define temperature loads.
| 1 | Go to Loads/Temperature Load/Uniform Temperature Load. |   |
| 2 | There are two cases for expansion and contraction. For expansion, Select Bridge, and Stage as TUExpStage. | |
| 3 | Specify Temperature Change from Mean as 40F. |  |
| 4 | For contraction, go to the 2nd row. Select Bridge, and Stage as TUContrStage. | |
| 5 | Specify Temperature Change from Mean as -40F. | |
| 6 | Name these two cases as TU_Exp and TU_Contr, respectively. |
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Go to Uniform Temperature Load under Temperature Load on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy related General from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM. |
Copy the desired data with the automatic copy button in the upper left corner. Click on the first cell in and use the Ctrl+V shortcut to paste.  
If icon won’t appear, collapse page tree menu by clicking on arrow or using shortcut “[”.  While pasting large data, it would be handy to turn of Auto-refresh .
