    Hi Syamil.

     

    If I have understood it correct, you want to model an intial condition inside the helmet and ambient temperature as the outside temperature.

     

    Go to Analysis>> Temperature and create temperature for inside. Now, create a DLOAD card and refer the TLOAD1 in this DLOAD.

     

     

    For the rest you can give through TEMPD. TEMPD is available as a load collector.

     

    When creating loadstep for heat transfer, Refer TEMPD card for IC and , you can refer to DLOAD created in above step in the subcase directly.

    Hi Prakash,

     

    Thank you for your help. I will try to do the analysis first based on what you told.

    Syamil,

     

    The analysis type will be transient. So you need temperature data varying with time. Please keep a note of this.
