Reply To: Sintering of materials with transient thermal distribution

[Osama Jadaan]

Thank you Ashish, I appreciate your reply. 

I read the paper you suggested. I also read all documentation in ANSYS regarding the sintering models and add-on module, did the tutorials and started my own model. 

The paper you asked me to read only deals with transient heat transfer modeling, which I have no issue with and know how to do. My question was regarding using the transient thermal results as input into the sintering analysis (add-on). how do we go about doing this in ansys. Currently, it seems like ansys assumes constant temperature profile throughout the component at a given time. But what I need is to use a transient temperature profile that varies with time and position with the sintering analysis. 

Thank you.
