Hello, I need to solve a heat transfer problem in four adyacents regions that have different initial temperature. Can I implement this in FlexPde? Thank you very much in advance | ||

Absolutely. You an set the initial temperature in each region as well as the boundary conditions. | ||

Can you tell me where the statements about initial values havwe to be written? Thanks | ||

Initial values are specified, not surprisingly, in the INITIAL VALUES section. See the Help chapter "Problem Descriptor Reference | Sections of a Descriptor | The INITIAL VALUES Section". Or look under "Initial Values" in the Help Index. Or look at one of the more than 80 Example files that include INITIAL VALUE specifications. | ||

Looking at your previous postings, I infer that your question is really how to specify conditions that vary with region. Do this: 1) in the DEFINITIONS section, give a name to your inital value, such as TEMP0. 2) in the INITIAL VALUES section, declare the initial value: INITIAL VALUES Temp = Temp0 3) in the various regions of your problem, declare the values to be assigned to TEMP0: Region 6 TEMP0=98 ... Region 7 TEMP0=99 and so forth.... | ||
