How can I add moving heat flux on tree of transient thermal?

  Model.Analyses[0].addMoving Heat Flux ??????????????????????????
  Moving heat flux does not appear on the script. What is the reason and How can I manipulate the parameters?
  It only shows heat flux.

  You are using the ACT extension for moving heat - this does not mean that there is an API act call that is related to a moving heat flux - actually there is none call like that about a moving heat in our ACT API.
  
  All the best

  I am currently moving the heat source around the rectangular object but when my speed of beam is 3 m/s, the path is completed in 6 milisecond in this case. But I want it to move long time along rectangule without changing the velocity of gaussian beam source. Like repeating the same for 1 minutes for example to see the long term affect of gaussian beam travelling on the surface. To do so, I needed to create 100 moving heat flux with my mouse and then change the parameters. it is really hard. How can I solve this issue?

  I can not help with any act extensions I am afraid - perhaps some students might be able to help.
  
  Thank you

  just comment for improvement: You should have included the repeating properties (a loop )on the tool since it is not very flexible.
