Nevermind, more digging through ANSYS help and I figured it out.
Note to self: ANSYS's online documentation is more thorough than the user manuals

Question: How do you use the TREAD command to read a 3D table into APDL? I found help for 1D and 2D, but not 3D.
Background: In APDL, I use tabular boundary conditions in a non-linear, transient analysis. These boundary conditions vary in time and in two directions, X and Y and each has...
Ah, yes that does make sense. I guess another option would be to add a very thin component at the interface by offsetting the line, and then give it material properties of an insulating material. This would require updating a small portion of the mesh but not the entire thing. I was hoping to...
Thanks for the reply Jason. If I go that route, would I need to do that for every component interface? There are a few dozen components so that would be fairly difficult. It would probably be easier to just rebuild the mesh.
So there isn't a way to just add contact resistance to a line? So...
Hi, I've taken over someone else's work and need some advice on how to add some additional complexity to the model. The problem is a 2D axisymmetric, transient, non-linear, heat transfer analysis on an assembly of components with convection on the external surface. The analysis was written in...
