Ansys Fluent - Transient Analysis
(OP)
Yello everyone,
Is there any way to define an initial temperature while performing a transient analysis in Ansys Fluent ?
I have a simple cube, in one face I impose as a boundary condition 20ºC, the rest of the faces are adiabatic except for one. In this non adiabatic I want to impose an initial temperature and see its evolution over time according to the 20ºC boundary condition.
Than you very much in advance

Although such a simple analysis, consisting of only conduction, could be easier to do in Transient Thermal module.

Thank you for your answers. Yes, I do know the patch tool but I think it is not effective in my case.
My problem is not the initial temperature of the body (for that I do not need to use patch). I want to define an initial temperature for a surface of the cube (not for the Wall cube).
I want that my boundary condition is an initial temperature rather than a static boundary. I want to assess the temperature and flux variation on that surface, and if I choose a static boundary, I am not able to do that.
Am I wrong?
Thank you very much

I will give this a try.

When I try to create a hex region on a given surface of the cube (defining a diagonal), this message appears:0 cells marked for refinement ... .And the patch does not work.
But if I define a 3D diagonal, defining a volume instead of a 2D area on a surface, its ok.
How can I create a hex patch, just on the surface of the cube?
Thank you very much
