Steady State Cube Fixed Temp

I'm trying to model a cylinder in pure steady state heat transfer that is heated at 50C on one side and 200C on the other, with no convection terms using Optistruct. I want to see the steady state heat flux through the cube, as well as the temperature distribution. I can get them to run separately in Hyperviewer, but I need them combined into a single analysis so that I can see heat fluxes and temperature gradients

EDIT: Load_200 initially was a TEMP when i took the screenshots. It has now been corrected to a SPC Load Type.

    You can combine different spc load collectors with SPCADD load collector.

    Or simply move/organize all your spcs intp the same collector.

     

    But for tour analysis make sense you would probably need to have a heat Flux or voletric heat source, otherwise it will only be equilibrium.
