Reply To: How to do steady state thermal simulation with only one boundary condition?

[Rahul Kumbhar]

Hi Ricardo,

1. do I have to also put convection as a boundary condition inside? It depends whether you want to model it or not. But the model should be able to solve without convection boundary condition on inside faces.
2. For this problem you should define a convection and radiation which communicate with a unique space node for ambient temperature. The temperature of this space node will change as the heat is added through radiation and convection. But there is no direct GUI way to define this. One nned to use APDL commands to achieve this.
