But the relationship between thermal conductivity and position is not complicated &#8211; it is polynomial in nature.nSo I know the obvious answer is the UDF creation. But since I am a beginner, instead of creating UDF, I am wondering if there is any other easier way to input a thermal conductivity that varies with position to the material properties dialogue box, since UDF would take some time to create.nYour kind advice in this regard is highly appreciated!nThank you!n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51591","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-material-property","topic-tag-thermal-conductivity","topic-tag-udf-fluent"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["23864"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["+???"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2632"],"_bbp_subscription":["253866"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["51591"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","22555","179749","184487"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["42"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["140326"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["140326"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-01-28 13:59:24"]},"test":"vsjay3"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51591","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\/51591\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
