The Heat Transfer in Solids (
) interface is used to model heat transfer in solids by conduction, convection, and radiation. A
Solid model is active by default on all domains. All functionality for including other domain types, such as a fluid domain, is also available.
When this version of the physics interface is added, these default nodes are added to the Model Builder—
Solid,
Thermal Insulation (the default boundary condition), and
Initial Values. Then, from the
Physics toolbar, add other nodes that implement, for example, boundary conditions and sources. You can also right-click
Heat Transfer is Solids to select physics features from the context menu.
To display more than the shape functions in this section, click the Show More Options button (
) and select
Advanced Physics Options in the
Show More Options dialog box. See
Settings for the Heat Transfer Interface for a description of the other settings.
