How Do You Imprint Faces for a Moving Heat Source in ANSYS Workbench?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on performing transient analysis for a welded joint in ANSYS Workbench, specifically regarding the use of the "imprint faces" feature for a moving heat source. The user is experiencing difficulties finding the "imprint faces" option while attempting to extrude lines along the weld joint. Suggestions include checking if the option has been relocated to the Create->Boolean operation menu. The user is also seeking alternative methods for modeling the moving heat source in ANSYS Workbench. Overall, the conversation highlights challenges and potential solutions in the transient analysis process within the software.

Please help.I want to do transient analysis on welded joint.So for moving heat source I have to select multiple patches along the weld joint.From tutorial I came to know that it can be done by imprint faces while extruding lines,but when I tried it by extrusion in operation it does not show the option IMPRINT FACES.Please suggest what I am missing?I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

Is there any other way to model the moving heat source in ANSYS Workbench?
 
I don't know about the transient analysis, but I think the imprint faces option has moved to the Create->Boolean operation
 
thanx bigfooted i will check it
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
