Shell Continuity (Heat Transfer Interface) and Continuity (Heat Transfer in Shells Interface)

Shell Continuity (Heat Transfer Interface) and Continuity (Heat Transfer in Shells Interface)

Use this node to specify the side-by-side continuity conditions on the temperature field at an edge between two layered materials. By default, the temperature is discontinuous at the interface between two layered materials.

Layer Selection

Select and layered materials from the drop-down lists. This makes the node applicable on the edges adjacent to both selected layered materials. Click the button to visualize the settings.

	See Layered Material, Layered Material Link, Layered Material Stack, Layered Material Link (Subnode), and Single Layer Materials in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for details on the definition of layered materials.


	The definition of coinciding layer meshes at the continuity interface results in a more robust continuity condition. See the Mesh elements settings in the Layer Definition sections of the concerned Single Layer Material and Layered Material.
