Simulation of moving heat source over a beam

Submitted by sami.alahmad on

Greetings everybody
    I am working on a project that I need to simulate a moving heat source over a beam .I am going to use Ansys for simulation.
   I am very interested on any tutorials or any Guidance  

you have to use user subroutine dflux which give moving shape of heat source that is

 SUBROUTINE DFLUX(FLUX,SOL,KSTEP,KINC,TIME,NOEL,NPT,COORDS,

1 JLTYP,TEMP,PRESS,SNAME)

include 'ABA_PARAM.INC'

DIMENSION FLUX(2),TIME(2),COORDS(3)

CHARACTER*80 SNAME



REAL t,x,y,z,Q,a,b,c

Real x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2

REAL FLUX1,FLUX2



t = time(1)



! coordinate

x = coords(1)

y = coords(2)

z = coords(3)

! welding arc

a = 0.0033

b = 0.0033

c = 0.0033

! speed of welding in y direction is 0.0076

x1 = 0.05

y1 = 0+0.0076*t

z1 = 0



x2=x-x1

y2=y-y1

z2=z-z1

! Q=n*V*i

Q=9900

! a welding simulation in the midle of a plate 0.03*0.2*0.3

if(jltyp.eq.1) then

if(KSTEP.EQ.3) then

IF(y2.GE.0) then

! Goldak's volumetric heat source model

FLUX(1)=1.86632*Q/(a*b*c)*exp(-3*(x**2/a**2+y**2/b**2+z**2/c**2))

ELSE

IF(y2.LE.0) then

FLUX(1)=1.86632*Q/(a*b*c)*exp(-3*(x**2/a**2+y**2/b**2+z**2/c**2))

end if

FLUX(1)=0

FLUX(2)=0.0

Else

FLUX1=0

FLUX(1)=FLUX1

FLUX(2)=0

end if

else

FLUX(1)=0

FLUX(2)=0

end if

return

end
