I am trying to simulate for the thermal response (temperature counter) of simple cavity plate of the injection mold because it is very important to temperature range should be within tolerance.

I made a simple cavity and make a cylindrical hole along the length to represent the electric cartridge heating. I made a steady state analysis with constant heat flux input. But now I want to make a thermal transient analysis with periodic heat flux input.

I have the problem in inputting periodic heat flux load as an XML file. I got the error "Either the specified location is incorrect or the source at that location contains no data".

 

I want to put load as below chart

I also new to this software. Waiting for help. thank you!

Hello Suraj

Attached is a example Transient Thermal model that has a 10 second on/off square wave of heat flux.

Below is the resultant Temperature response.

ANSYS 18.2 archive is attached.

Hi Suraj,

I moved your question to a new topic, since this topic is marked as solved.

Some people will not spend time reading solved topics so you might not get all the help you could.
