related to thermal analysis

hello friend

my self raj .

in the beam and shell element " thermal OR temparature vs time" transient analysis possible ? 

   i have four story building model , if apply a temprature vs time history at second floor then  can i find out the each floor tempreture at each time steps ? due to thats also find out the strees and moment or  force at each node due to elongation of beam sheel element due to temparature incraese.

Changing density value during thermal analysis

Hi everyone,

I need to perform a thermal analysis. A slab of solid material subjected to one side heat flux. My energy balance equation takes in account conduction and heat generation.

The conductio term is the usual term.

The heat generation term is function of the density, but the density is a function of temperature.

I think I should perform a transient analysis and manage to change the value of the density during the anlysis after each substep, at least.
Does someone know how to do it with ANSYS? It is the software that I'm trying to use.
