Temperature difference of -800 °C in Mechanical

Hi everyone, I'm studying a 2D axisymetric composite tube (ceramic fiber and metal matrix). In order to check my results, I have some numerical results where the difference in temperature is -800°C.
I'm actually obtaining the same results, but my issue is putting a temperature of the composite equal to -778°C (cooling the composite from 22°C to -778°C, resulting in a deltaT of 800°C).
Obviously it is impossible to achieve that temperature and I would like to set my "zero temperature" to 822°C or something like that to considerar a temperature of the composite of 22°C and get the same results.
I tried to change that in Engineering Data.
But it didn't work out...

You can set the environment temperature under 'Static structural' as shown below in Mechanical. This will be the stress-free temperature. Then you can apply thermal condition to cool down the structure from this environment temprature.

Thank you!!! That worked!
