(not strictly an EFD or FloWorks question but anyway…) Yes, this can be done by using a Temperature Source Attribute attached to a Source Object. A linear relationship between power dissipation and temperature can be defined in terms of a coefficient and value. Note that the either the coefficient or the value can be made to vary in time as part of a transient simulation. Searching for “source option” in our html documentation will locate the relevant page!
