Hello,<\/p>\n

I want to define temerature graident through one shell elelemt thickness(shell181), so i tried to input 8 temperatures in the layer(4 temperatures for bottom and 4 temperatures for top ) of the element’s corners through the command “BFE,all, temp,STLOC,%tabname%”.<\/p>\n

However, when i checked the BFLIST output,only the first temperature in the table was used for bottom of the layer(see figure below).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So i think it may be the wrong table defination with “*dim” commands?<\/p>\n

Here are commands<\/p>\n

\/clear,all<\/span><\/p>\n

et,1,shell181<\/span><\/p>\n
