Thermal simulation with Nodal Temperature Initial Condition

3 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to run a thermal simulation, but instead of setting the initial temperature condition as a constant value ThermalIC(model,298), I need to start the simulation with a Nodal Temperature (a vector) value. Is it possible to do so in Matlab?
Thank you in advance.

Couple of options:
  1. You can use a function to define the temperature, which you can specify to thermalIC as function_handle.
  2. You can peform a steady-state thermal simulation to create the nodal temperature distribution. You can then specify that restuls object directly as an input to the transient thermal simulation.
