Hello everyone,

I am trying to solve a transient thermal model of a cooling enclosure that uses peltier units. I got the curve of my peltier unit so what I am trying to do is grab the temperature on the hot side with a temperature probe and use it through a function as a negative heat flow for the cold side of the peltier. So I change both my temperature output and my heat flow into parameters and then I try to link them through the parameter module. The problem is this action is recognised as cyclic dependency and apparently you cant do that. I tried using the excel feature on the latest version but still it wont work because I cant figure out how to export my data to the excel variable (the expression box is deactivated for editing). Anyone have any ideas on how this could work?

Thanks for reading!
