We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

There are two different boundary conditions: 1) a Temperature boundary condition which enforces a specific temperature on a surface and 2) a Convection boundry condition, which has an Ambient Temperature input and a Film Coefficient.  When you say Ambient temperature above, are you referring to boundary condition of type 1 or type 2 because it's not clear the way you wrote your reply.

Also, are you doing a 2D problem or a 3D problem. That is also not clear because a surface in 2D is the edge of the rectangle, while in 3D it is the face of the rectangle.
