If you use only the *BOUNDARY definition, then the magnitude you specify
is the actual displacement/temperature/etc. However, if *BOUNDARY
references a *AMPLITUDE definition, then the value enforced will be
B*A(t), where B is the magnitude defined on the *BOUNDARY option, and
A(t) is the *AMPLITUDE definition. Thus, when using a *AMPLITUDE
definition, you can choose to either define A(t) using the actual
magnitude of the load and simply using a unit magnitude on *BOUNDARY, or
you can define A(t) as a relative scale factor, and define the reference
value using *BOUNDARY.
Short answer: Temperature.
