 ===== Temperature Load =====
 <WRAP half column>
 A "Temperature" boundary condition fixes the temperature at the chosen boundary at the specified temperature.
+A Temperature boundary condition requires two inputs:
+  * G: the geometry of the surfaces where the temperature is fixed
+  * T: the magnitude of the temperature
