Hi:
I have tried to do what you said to set the initial conditions of the nodes and deactivate and activate. It works, but the problem is in the vizualization module at the interface between the activated element set and the substrate which is at room temp (created a single part and partitioned), the nodes have two temps (300 & 2000 K), i.e.the elements are dead in the given step but some temp contours are seen like 2000 K on the top nodes, 1500 K in the middle and at the interface 300K. If you look at it in the dead state it seems there is conduction but obviously there is not until it is activated. How can I avoid this or make the dead elements disappear in the unactivated state and appear in activated?.
