Conduction

A conduction heat transfer analysis can be performed on fluid materials, solid materials, or a combination of both. For all cases, the correct properties (particularly thermal conductivity) are necessary. Be sure to define the material properties on the Material dialog task.

On the Physics tab of the Solve dialog:

• Turn Flow to Off and Heat Transfer to On.
• Click the Turbulence button, and turn turbulence Off. This uses the laminar material conductivity values.

If the material properties do not vary with temperature, the analysis should only require 10 iterations to converge.
