Hi, i have 2 heat generation equations containint temperature T as variable. eqn 1= 8.93310^22exp(-16246.317/T[1/K]) being active in the temperature range from 90-120°c eqn 2= 2.09410^22exp(-16246.317/T[1/K]) being active in the temperature range frorm 120-170°c.

How can i enter these two equations in my general heat source term field so that each equation is active throughout its temperature region.

Regards

You can embed Boolean quantities in your expressions. For example,will evaluate to 1 if a is greater than b, and 0 if a is not greater than b. So you can write expressions like: . This will evaluate to 6 if a is greater than b, but only 1 if a is not greater than b. You can create similar expresssions involving T in your problem.

You can embed Boolean quantities in your expressions. For example, (a>b) will evaluate to 1 if a is greater than b, and 0 if a is not greater than b. So you can write expressions like: MyVar=1+5*(a>b). This will evaluate to 6 if a is greater than b, but only 1 if a is not greater than b. You can create similar expresssions involving T in your problem.
