  Thanks, Peter!
  
  It really helped me.
  
  Now next I want to put heat flux on or off according to programmed control.
  
  I want my model maximum temperature should not exceed 180 deg and also not fall below 175 deg.
  
  how to put logical heat flux load like below
  
  0180 deg=1500 Watt.
  
  Temp>180 deg=0 Watt.
  
  Thank you!

  This new discussion was moved from the tail end of a solved discussion.
  
  Suraj, I don't know how to do this, but will be interested to find out.

  Hi Suraj9735
  
  There is a 'combination' element in Mechanical APDL that can act as a thermostat. See the two part blog entry on this at PADT - the link to part 1 is:
