Hello,

I've got a body that I have to perform a thermal analysis of to see the temperature difference between the top, bottom and within the material. I have created an enclosure using spaceclaim's "enclosure" function, then tried to mesh this using mechanical (transient thermal). I've defined material properties of the enclosure and the body in question (density, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity), and have applied a temperature of 35 at the top face of the enclosure with perfect insulation at the surface level. When I run the transient analysis with a uniform initial temperature of 22c, I get a uniform temperature of 35 across the body and enclosure after the first timestep (0.001s). I wanted to ask what I'm doing incorrectly, am I missing a property to be applied such as heat flux etc or are my material properties wrong?

Photos of my setup can be seen below and any assistance would be appreciated.
