Applying a temperature varying with time

Hi I have modeled a bottle with water inside and I want to apply a temperature at the bottom of the bottle which varies with time. I have made a table with temperature vs time.
How do I apply this as a temperature load?

Hi,
This is straightforward. Define the table as a Interpolation function with seconds as the input argument and kelvin as the output (function) argument. If the function is called temp_vs_time, for example, enter it as the temperature in the Temperature node that is active at the bottom of the bottle as temp_vs_time(t).
Best regards,

Do I define a function under Defintions? If so, when I enter my function name as you stated (e.g. temp_vs_time(t)) I get a yellow highligh stating that its an unexpected unit of input.
EDIT: Never mind I forgot the units...
