Hello folks,

Actually am new to ANSYS community and I have a project concerning thermal analysis of building block. I would like to know how I can get thermal resistance(R) and overall heat transfer coefficient (U) values either in Fluent/CFD or Steady-state thermal?

In Fluent you can use the post processing functions, but I tend to use the heat flux and calculate manually to avoid any confusion over the reference temperatures.
Not sure in Mechanical, as I don't use a "thermal resistance", I'd use heat transfer coefficients and conductivity.

Load and clear Mr.Rob. Appreciated
