Domain Features
Cross Section
Use this node with 1D components to model domains with another cross-sectional area or another cross-sectional perimeter than the global one that is used in the Heat Transfer interface
Physical Model
section. In 1D geometries, the temperature is assumed to be constant in the radial direction, and the heat equation is modified to account for that.
