    Conjugate Heat Transfer

    For conjugate heat transfer analyses, the solid material conduction and the fluid convection are analyzed simultaneously. The type of fluid convection (natural, forced or mixed) determines the analysis parameters.

    • To simulate forced convection, obtain a converged flow solution, disable the flow and run additional thermal-only heat transfer iterations.

    • Click here for more about simulating mixed convection.
