I conducted steady-state thermal simulation utilizing Ansys Workbench, and then I wanted to obtain the heat transfer rate (watt) through the interfaces between two entities, but only the total\/directional heat flux can be got in results. I thought that the heat transfer rate could be calculated by multiplying the average total heat flux of the interface by the interface area, but the result was incorrect. I would like to consult the following questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In Ansys Workbench, what is the meaning of average value (obtained from “Results” in “Details” at bottom left corner of the view) of the total heat flux for the interface? Is the average value calculated by integrating the total heat flux over the surface and then divided by the area?<\/li>\n
  2. If Ques. 1 isnot true, is there another way to get the interfacial heat transfer rate?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
