Hey guys,

I would like to simulate an unsteady-state heat transfer problem in a square shape metal, in which the heat transfer from one side at high temperature to the opposite side which is at lower temperature. The other two sides have constant heat flux (0 w). I was able to prepare the mesh and run the simulation; the problem I am facing now is that I would like to plot the change in heat flux with respect to time. Someone suggested that I run the simulation for a period of time, find out the heat flux using the report, and then run it again. However, this is time consuming process, is there a faster way of doing it?
One more thing, if I would like to calculate the heat flux from the middle of the piece, how can I insert a line there?
