We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

How can I setup a time-dependent value for thermal contact conductance (TCC)?

  Yes, a tabular load can be used for TCC(real constant 14) with TIME as the primary variable in the table (See *DIM command). The same method can be used in Workbench using the Commands Object for the specific contact using the contact id, cid.
  ! define the table to hold the time-dependent TCC
  *DIM,tdtcc,table,5,,,TIME
  ! enter the time values into column zero
  tdtcc(1,0) = 0, 10, 15, 25, 30
  ! enter the TCC values into column one
  tdtcc(1,1) = 100, 90, 70, 40, 50
  ! set the TCC real constant to the tabular values
  rmodif,cid,14,%tdtcc%
  ! the TCC will be linearly interpolated as needed
