Temperature distribution problem

Hi, all.
My model consists of two blocks, made by solid extrusion, attached together. I want to specify initial temperature of each block and apply some temperature boundary conditions to the blocks' surfaces, to see the temperature distribution after two seconds of such interaction. The process is a kind of cooling. The problem is if I set temperature as *INITIAL CONDITIONS, and then apply temperature to the external surfaces of the block as boundary conditions - the temperature of the whole block become uniform immediatly. So there is no any distribution. It does not depend on the thermal conductivity parameter.
What should I do to make it work correctly?
