Physics Interface Features
Physics nodes are available from the Physics ribbon toolbar (Windows users), Physics context menu (Mac or Linux users), or right-click to access the context menu (all users).
In general, to add a node, go to the Physics toolbar, no matter what operating system you are using. Subnodes are available by clicking the parent node and selecting it from the Attributes menu.
Heat Transfer in Solids
The available physics features for The Heat Transfer in Solids Interface are listed in Feature Nodes for the Heat Transfer in Solids Interface.
Heat Transfer in Fluids
The available physics features for The Heat Transfer in Fluids Interface are listed in Feature Nodes for the Heat Transfer in Fluids Interface.
Heat sources
In the heat source features available for the constituent interfaces (Heat Source, Geothermal Heating, and Bioheat), the user input corresponds to the heat production per total unit volume. It is multiplied by the volume fraction of each phase and added into the corresponding heat equation.
Heat fluxes
In the heat flux features available for the constituent interfaces (Heat Flux, Inflow), the user input corresponds to the heat flux per total unit surface. It is multiplied by the volume fraction of each phase and added into the corresponding heat equation. The surface fraction is approximated by the volume fraction.
