Reply To: Lumerical Heat Difference between Uniform Heat Source and Power Boundary

There is also another info that could be helpful to you here or in your future HEAT analysis; When the simulation is complete you will have access to a set of results named "boundaries". Here you will see the area of your HEAT boundary conditions and the power dissipated through them. Since the input and output power should match, by checking the results here (Pout) you can double check, how much power is introduced in the simulation and whether it matches your expectations.
