I have a thermal error of (averaged) 0.37 while the maximum (only very small regions) is about 700. The simulation has high thermal gradients and has in general high temperatures.

I wonder what average value is the maximum value until the whole simulation becomes unreasonable. I found no information in the theory reference.

Thanks for helping.

Can you elaborate more on the analysis you are carrying out and share some snapshots of the setup and results?

Hi,
I do a transient thermal analysis with three types of boundary conditions: heat flux, convection and surface to surface radiation. The geometry is a more or less cubic cavity. The inside of this cavity is hot while the outside has more or less ambient temperature.
The high thermal error occurs on the inner edges of the cavity.
Does this help?
