I want to simulate a moving heat load, i.e. temperature, to some nodes within the plate by a specified velocity and positions such as a beam of laser. Can any one help me how to do this?
The one way is to do transient analysis with each step defined separately inside *DO loop and timestep defined regarding velocity of beam laser movement by DELTIM comand.Load can be applied to specified nodes (according to alghorithm defining trace of laser beam) in each step. At the begining of the each step load from previous step should be deleted by FDELE command (if You applied load as heat flux) or DDELE (if You applied a temperature as a boundary condition).
