Hi there, I’d like to solve thermal deformation by using temperature distribution that is analyzed by using another CAE. Is there any way to import it? ytohi ---

Great question @ytohi - my colleague @ahmedhussain18 is putting together a topic covering this right now and will share the link with you when it is ready. Best, Anna ---

Hey @ytohi! You can of course do that by either a formula or table upload. You can have a look at the forum post [here] ([Defining variable thermal boundary conditions](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/defining-variable-thermal-boundary-conditions/22588)). Hope this helps. If you have any question/s, feel free to ask. Best Regards, - Ahmed
