As boundary conditions I want to apply a heat transfer coefficient to the model. The HTC-values are taken from measurements, as well as the ambient temperature at the same time. The measurements are taken in increments of 60s and last up to about 38000s. So its a lot of data input. I want to apply these values for the simulation. However, it seems unhandy to input the values as tabular data via copy paste. Weirdly, it worked some times, but not consistently. I looked up methods on how to import external data, but this only worked for spatial data, not temporal. Also I am not quite sure how to adat the load steps. I can input as many time steps as needed for load increments of 60s in the calculated time span, however, the time steps between them are automatically set to 1s and I need to change each step manually which is not the solution I am looking for. Does the copy\/paste approach work usually or is the number of data too big and different methods need to be used?nThank you in advancenn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51083","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-boundary-conditions","topic-tag-heat-transfer","topic-tag-transient-analysis"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["23345"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[" \u0003\u0000??\u000e?x\u0014K\u0004k2\u000b??"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["3738"],"_bbp_subscription":["252838"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["51083"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","178715"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["138394"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["138394"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-01-11 18:11:55"]},"test":"ririru"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51083","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\/51083\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
