      Yes. First create a name selection that contains the body for which you want to specify a different initial temperature (e.g., create a name selection called Selection1). Then insert a Command Object in the Analysis Branch that issues the IC command.
      IC,Selection1,Temp,113 ! for an initial temperature of 113 degrees.
