hi guys,

i have the following problem: I need to apply a HEAT GENERATION load on a set of 3D elements representing a distributed heat source over the volume depending on space coordinates x, y , z.
I tried to use the Variable button during definition of the load to enter an equation, but I cannot activate the option. This method is explained in the handbook but seems that the functionality doesn't work at all. I have also tried using other type of loads including structural ones but it really seems that the command doesn't work at all.
Anyone can help me with this?

Thanks very much in advance.
