Problem trying to move heat source.

Hi all,
I wish to model a moving heat source very similar to the 'heating with a moving laser' model in the model library.
However my heat source is a 2D circle on the outside of a 3D block and I am defining a certain heat flux through the circular surface.
I tried to use same method as in the 'heating with a moving laser' example (extruding a mesh and then coupling the 3D temperature variable to the 2D boundary condition).
The program does not give any errors when run but the heat source does not move, it remains stationary heating the one spot.
I have most likely made a litany of errors in defining this model and I would be very grateful if someone could point some of them out to me.
Thank you in advance!
