Hi,

How can I use the solver Command to define orthotropic conductivity in thermal analysis. I am new to it, and I don't know how to define it, thank you.

 

Thank you.

Hello  Yan Manashirov APDL commands can be passed through Solver Command option for defining orthotropic conductivity. In the example shared in this post , when you click on Physics - Solver Options - User Command, you can see the APDL commands specified under /PREP and /SOLU Start - Just Before Solve section. For more details on these APDL commands, please check out the help document.

Thank you,

and one more thing, what is the symbol of thermal conductivity in MAPDL, I guess kx,ky,kz?

[Naresh Patre]

Yan Manashirov Yes, the symbol you guessed are the correct ones.
