The Heat Transfer in Solids (ht) 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 in Solids to select physics features from the context menu.
See Physical Model for a description of the
Thickness (2D and 1D axisymmetric components),
Cross sectional area (1D components),
Cross sectional perimeter (1D components), and
Reference temperature settings, and the check boxes available under the
Physical Model section.
In addition, the discretization level of the Irreversible transformation indicator should also be set when the
Irreversible Transformation subfeature is added under a
Solid node. Otherwise this setting has no effect.
