Set identification number of TEMP, TEMPD, TIC, TICA Bulk Data Entries.

  1. TIC and TICA entries will not be used (therefore, no initial conditions) unless selected in the Subcase Information section.
  2. Initial condition for transient heat transfer needs to come from this entry, which needs to reference TEMP and TEMPD Bulk Data.
