2D-temperature field input

Post by wzb198910 » Sun Nov 19, 2017 3:00 pm

Hello,

I want to simulate the microstructure evolution on the interface of solid and melt pool in 3-D printing process.
I found that there is only 1-D temperature field can be inputted.
So I want to know whether is possible to input a 2-D non-linear temperature field ?

As far as I know, a 2D temperature profile as a boundary condition is not possible.
Only, the 1D profile in Z-direction can be varied over time with the option 'profiles_from_file'.
