Hello everyone, I am implementing a thermal transient thermal simulation in Ansys Mechanical and would like to set the film coefficient for convection as a function of temperature and space alike. As you can see in the first picture I can easily select the film coefficient to be a function.<\/p>\n

My problem is that I can’t find any reference regarding the possible variables (and their names) to be used in this field. By trial and error I figured that ‘x’,’y’,’z’,’s’ refer to coordinates and ‘time’ to the time value but I am not able to use temperature as a variable here.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the second picture it is very easy to set the film coefficient as a tabulated function of a surface temperature alone. What I need is to be able to have it function of both temperature and coordinate.<\/p>\n

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!<\/p>\n
