linear function for the ambient temperature
Hi everyone,
is there any way to create an ambient temperature, which is defined by a linear function, using Optistruct? After that, I need to define this convection boundary condition to the CHBDYE surface elements. Something similar is discussed in the OS-1085: Linear Steady State Heat Convection Analysis tutorial, but with a constant ambient temperature, which is created on one node, and this boundary condition is applied on the surface elements using that only one node.
Best Regards,
Mert

You have an option to use equation in Analysis > temperatures > change the toggle from value to equation
Equations allow you to create temperature or flux loads on your model where the magnitude of the load is a function of the coordinates of the entity to which it is applied. An example of such a load might be an applied temperature whose intensity dissipates as a function of distance from the application point,
