With the new load case editor with the flange analysis temperature clearly shown adjacent to the load case definition, can we please get an option to default the flange analysis temperature to the temp in the load case definition?
For my work, the flange analysis is almost always done at the temperature analyzed in the load case definition. If for some reason I want to do something different, it is a deliberate decision on my part and I will go hunt down the setting to make this happen. This is the 1% case. Yet the 1% case appears to be setting the rule and requiring extra effort on 99% of the cases.
In this thread from 2011, a case was made that defaulting the temperature to match the case could lead to inconsistent data.

What happens if you set all the Peq temperatures to T1, and then change one or more load cases. If c2 updated the Peq temperatures, then those evaluations wouldn't be what you wanted. Would you pick up on the fact that we changed data behind your back?
