I want to consult you do I need to change the ansysworkbench coordinate system if importing external data (heat generate rate in axial and circumferential direction) in cylindrical coordinate system to mechanical thermal mesh in Cartesian coordinate system. If need to change the coordinate system in ansysworkbench, then how to implement that.

Thank you very much in advance.

Have you changed the coordinate system type as shown above:

Hi Aniket Thanks for your reply, and I want to consult you that I intend to load three different external data (heat generate rate) vs. time, indicating three different heat loads in three different positions vs. time. I want to do such a periodic heat cycle among the three heat loads until the temperature to the steady state.
I have no idea if there is a convenient method to do such a transient calculation so that I don't need tofill from "0:heat generation1" to "2:heat generation1" in the below blank again and again. Thanks in advance.
