Properties in function of temperature

[Kwiaci]

Hello Everybody,
I'm a new user of Elmer software - previously I was working mostly with Fluent. In Fluent it is very easy to set piecewise linear material properties in function of temperature and my question is that is there any easy way to define this type of properties using GUI or do I need different way? Maybe there is any suitable tutorial with this problem solved?

Well, its easy also in Elmer. Just press "Enter" for the property value and write in the box, for example

Code: Select all

Heat Conductivity = Variable Temperature 
  Real
    273.0 1.0
    293.0 1.1
    313.0 1.3
    ...
  End 

(write only the part after "=" as the left-hand-side is defined by the box you clicked)
