Temperature dependent convection in simulink

I am trying to perform a thermal modeling and analysis in Simulink for a gear box system in which convection coefficients for some parts are temperature dependent. But in Simscape>> Thermal category, it seems there is no option to define conv. coefficients as temperature dependent variables. would you tell me how can I do that?

You may move convection coefficient from "parameter" into "inputs" in the source code, and save as your own Simscape component. More on Simscape customization:
