Use of Ambient Data From the Features

The ambient variables defined in the node are available as inputs for several boundary and initial conditions. For example, when defining the heat transfer coefficient for a boundary condition by using a correlation for external forced convection, the wind velocity vamb, the ambient absolute pressure pamb, and the ambient temperature Tamb can be selected as inputs:
