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.

Hi Karri,

 

Thanks for your answer and the link. I could indeed use face-to-face radiation.

But in some case, I would prefer to use the contact tool, which is supposed to support radiative exchange (see APDL documentation).

This can be very usefull : no view-factor calculation (only local heat exchange), no geometrical gap needed between faces.

Any idea to activate this functionnality inside workbench mechanical ?

Regards,

Paul
