I am simulating the heat transfer between flow and a thin solid in CFX. Mesh in the solid domain is not good and I want to use the approach of NO_SOLID as in Fluent. I found this documentation about fluent, but just wondering if that is also doable in CFX. 

I noticed that with no solid in CFX, the inetrface can not be treated as a wall with heat transfer through it. 

Any suggestion please?

Hi Sarah,

Try not to include the solid domain from the default domain location. And then try using Thermal Energy as the heat transfer option for the domain. This will allow the usage of any thermal boundary conditions.

thanks. I have a case where I have to simulate flow inside a pipe and consider fluid, pipe wall (steel) and then insulation material. I am confused between the thin wall approach and with-solid approach.
