Hi all,

 

How can I insert tabular data into boundary condition?

 

E.g:  temperature at inflow with flow rate of 100 metre cube/hr; (transient):

 

time (s)         temperature (K)

   0                       300

   10                     290

   20                     280

   30                     270

 

 

Thanks & regards

    One way to do that is using a multiplier function (Type = Piecewise linear) with curve fit variable  = Time.

     

    Then insert the table in Curve Fit values.

     

    Under Simple Boundary Conditions, give Temperature = 1K and multiplier function.

    This will multiple 1K with the table you enter above.

     

    Hopefully screenshot help-.
