Why doesn’t SOLID90 have the same temp-dependent film coefficient evaluation options as SOLID70? I am using SOLID90 elements which do not have a keyoption to specify how the film coefficient will be evaluated. SOLID70 elements have keyopt(2) to do this. For example, keyopt(2)=1 specifies evaluation at element surface temperature, TS.

      SOLID90 has the exact same options as SOLID70 using keyopt(3) instead of keyopt(2), but they are undocumented.
