[Getdp] Transient temperature calculations

[Joakim Sandström]

Is there a possibility to use getDP for thermal and mechanical calculations based on a specified, transient temperature boundary? Two main issues:


 *   The boundary flux into the model is specified with q = epsilon * sigma * (Text^4 - Tbound^4) + h * (Text - Tbound) where Tbound is the surface temperature of the object and Text is the surrounding temperature heating the object. Text changes over time and can be expressed with an equation or time - temperature pairs.
 *   The material properties are temperature dependent, both for the thermal calculations and the mechanical calculations.

If there is a possibility to implement some form of radiative exchange model for internal surfaces inside objects that would be a great advantage too.

Is this possible within the existing code, possible to do with minor changes or do I need to look elsewhere?
