We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

So it should work in general - the below x dependent feat flux works:

*dim,hftab,table,5,,,X
hftab(1,0)=0.0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1 ! x-pos.
hftab(1,1)=-100.0,-200.00,-300.0,-400.00,-500 ! - heat flux
CMSEL,S,HFBC,NODE
SF,ALL,HFLUX,%hftab%
ALLSEL,ALL

So define the table manually as done above, or if you do it via reading in a file, then see/search posts on how to do this:

There are many posts about this

Thank you
