As you can see in the first picture I can easily select the film coefficient to be a function.<\/p>\n<p>My problem is that I can&#8217;t find any reference regarding the possible variables (and their names) to be used in this field. By trial and error I figured that &#8216;x&#8217;,&#8217;y&#8217;,&#8217;z&#8217;,&#8217;s&#8217; refer to coordinates and &#8216;time&#8217; to the time value but I am not able to use temperature as a variable here.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/03-03-2024-1709490130-SCR-20240303-qwax.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/03-03-2024-1709490164-SCR-20240303-qvjb.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-354996","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-thermal-1","topic-tag-convection-coefficient","topic-tag-custom-field-function","topic-tag-heat-trasnfer","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-thermal-transient-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["62910","20905"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.146"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["939"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_topic_id":["354996"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["20905","62910"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["355462"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["355462"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-03-05 18:31:51"]},"test":"francesco-miccoliskywarder-eu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/354996","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\/354996\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
