      Make sure that you set the solver mode to transient before you patch the shell conduction zone. Let’s suppose you did a steady run to provide good initial data for a successive transient run. And lets further suppose you want to patch a shell conduction zone with a certain temperature on this steady solution. Then your next step should be to set the solver to transient mode before you do the patching.
