I just tried it and it was possible. It wouldn't be possible to apply both heat flux and convection to the face of the underlying elements, but Mechanical applies them both with surface effect elements making it possible. I made a cube and applied a heat flux of 1000 W/m^2 to the top face and a convection on the same face with a film coefficient of 100 and an ambient temperature of 22 degC. The temperature solution of 32 degC reflects both boundary conditions.Â
