We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

How do I map surface values (e. g. temperature or heat transfer coefficient) from two walls or a wall/wall-shadow pair in a Fluent model to a FEA model where the corresponding feature is modelled using shell elements?

      As shell elements only have one side they cannot be mapped with values from two walls. The workaround is to use two sets of shell elements, each having half thickness, and map each of the walls to set of shell elements. The shell elements are then connected together using a bonded contact, as shown in the attached document
