this is very very helpful. Thank you very much!!
I am a beginner with APDL so I struggled to set up such a code. But I am more confident now! However, I have a question: Do I need all of the commands in a command tab in the Mechanical GUI? Because I already have a mesh created and other boundary conditions which I want to be taken into account simultaneously.
Another question is, if (e.g.) the hgenval(1,1)=100,200 command passes the heat generation rate by 100 and the temperature bythe value 200 to the table.
Also maybe another question: Do you know if this method will lead to the same results as the heat generation rate with the MASS71 method with tabular input? Or do you know where the difference is?
Best regards and many thanks!
