Hi experts,

How can I use/set user-defined conductivity model using GUI? I could not fine such option. Do you know where I can find it?

Thanks!

    Hi James,

    I checked the GUI interface and the documentation for the conductivity_model. There's no user_function option in the same drop down list box. However, we can find user_function option in the command reference documentation. 

    https://help.altair.com/hwcfdsolvers/acusolve/topics/acusolve/conductivity_model_acusolve_com_ref.htm

    This is mentioned in the last part of the above link. I was just wondering why this option is not available in the GUI. Is this available in simlab?

    I don't see type = user-function in HyperWorks CFD or SimLab.  You can define constant, then manually edit the input file after exporting from the GUI.

    Hi Prabin,

     

    Is that correct that you want to define material with changing conductiviy like this image.

    Looks like that's a user function for a Multiplier Function.  I don't see type = User Function for the conductivity for a new material.  (Not everything is supported in the GUI yet...)
