Am working on simulation of the moving heat source of double ellisopidal heat source model (In ansys ACT extension Gaussian moving heat source is only available)..To find out the temperature distribution along the weldzone. Giving convection and moving heat source (UDF) as input. In the code the mathemtical equation of double ellipsoidal is given. But am not getting the temperature distribution reference to the double ellipsoidal graph.
Error with temperature profile in the ouput. Can any one help me. please.
Code is attached. Can you please check the code..
