Set-up Initial Conditions

Steady-State Thermal

We will need to run the steady state model and use the result as the initial condition for the transient analysis.
Right click on Steady-State Thermal (A5) > Insert > Temperature.

...

We are now ready to move on to set up the transient analysis.

Set-up Transient Thermal Analysis

Return to the Project Schematic in ANSYS Workbench. Right click on Solution > Transfer Data to New > Transient Thermal. This will export the model, the mesh, and the steady state solution to Transient Thermal analysis and the new analysis is ready to be set-up.

...

Once the Convection and Radiation boundary conditions have been set up, you may move on to the next step to set up the solution.
