(Could we do it in Geometry e.x by defining Merge Topology- or it should be done in Meshing?)<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>As far as K (thermal conductivity of insulators), please simply use gypsum (ANSYS Data base).<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t get the point of &#8220;pick all the faces that are exposed to the convective cooling on that end.&#8221; Can you please explain to me a little bit more?<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>As you said correctly, NO resistance between insulators. Please show me how to have ALL insulators as on part, same as widgets as 1 part.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Please show me how to get rid of so many BCs such as&nbsp; contact regions, internal walls, shadow walls,&#8230;<\/li>\n<p>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Again, I attached the same geometry&nbsp;file that I already attached in last discussion.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
