I have some questions about setting up the boundary conditions for steady state thermal analysis. I am modeling a copper cylinder at 250 C radiating to a heat flux gauge (which I model as a small stainless steel disk).<\/p>\n<p>Can I define two boundary conditions on one surface?<\/p>\n<p>Should I define temperature across the entire cylinder and then have it also radiating surface to surface with the disk, or should I only define temperature on the top half of the cylinder?<\/p>\n<p>On the top half, can I have convection, radiation and temperature as conditions?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I am a little bit confused by the different outputs I can get from a solution. What is the difference between total heat flux and directional heat flux? And how do these differ from the results I get with a radiation probe on either surface?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the help \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-169312","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["741"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["255748"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["169312"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27815"],"_bbp_engagement":["23687","65573","255748"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["214334"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["214334"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-05-16 08:04:50"]},"test":"mackenzie-conklingberkeley-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169312\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
