My goal is to apply boundary conditions for convection, specifically a temperature and a heat transfer coefficient that both vary as a function of position. Furthermore, I would like to scale these functions over different time steps. While I&rsquo;ve learned that it&rsquo;s possible to scale values using an APDL script, it seems this doesn&rsquo;t directly apply to functions. Is there a way to implement such position-dependent boundary conditions and also control their scaling over time via an APDL script? If so, how can I define and manage these temperature boundary conditions directly within the APDL script? I would also appreciate any alternative methods for scaling apart from using APDL.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-391692","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-transient-thermal-2","topic-tag-apdl","topic-tag-mechanical"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["475515","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["80.77.221.51"],"_btv_view_count":["202"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["391692"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","475515"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["391724"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["391724"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-29 11:58:53"]},"test":"b0b862ce874209072ff12476b8926fd37a066ec2"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/391692","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\/391692\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
