I have a flex heater intergrated with thermostat at specific location, wounded around a small container contains water. I need to raise the temperature of water by 50 deg C by supplying voltage to the heater and once the heater reach to 50 deg C, the switch has to break the circuit and the heater\/water will cool down. Agin when the cooled temperature reaches to 30 deg C, the switch has to turn on and heater will generate heat. I am using Internal heat generation input in Ansys but I could not control the heat generation values (my input variable) in fuction of my output temeprature (measured at switch or water).<\/p>\n<p>I have seen in few posts in learning forum that APDL has a COMBIN37 element which works as thermostat, but I am not so good at scripting for generating the commands in workbench. Is there way I can incorporate this requirement (with &#8220;IF&#8221; condition) in Workbench using parameters?<\/p>\n<p>Your suggetions are much helpful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n<p>Hari<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-239057","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["28746","23687","170445"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.220.96.181"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1267"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["239057"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["23687","28746","170445"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["244257"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["244257"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-12-17 01:36:16"]},"test":"hari-m-kalepumedtronic-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/239057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/239057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
