In this analysis, we neglect cooling due forced or natural convection. The result is that temperatures will be predicted higher than they actually are. A more accurate approach would be to solve for the flow as well.

Click the Physics tab.

Flow = Off

Heat Transfer = On

Radiation = On

Click the Solar heating button.

Check Enable solar heating.

Pick a Country and City.

Set a Date and Time.
