HEAT module no data in the Power monitor

  I set up a very simple simulation in the HEAT module. Glass substrate with air on top. When I run it, I see no data in the power monitor if I don't record the temperature. If I do record temperature, I can plot only it but no power intensity data is available. What I am doing wrong?

  First please check if the monitor is inside the simulation region. Sometimes its 3rd dimension is not the same as the simulation region.
  Make sure the material properties and the "temperature" BC injects some heats.
  You can also compare it with online examples, such as this one

  you can try to rebuild the simulation file from the examples.
