    Heat flux surface integral

    Hi again, So an update on my problem: I believe I have it worked out. I need to use the command "outres,all,all" before solving, then it will solve with the needed variables. And I can use selection groups from workbench to select and then 'fsum' to get the heat flow from that surface. I...

    Heat flux surface integral

    Hi, I have solved a heat transfer problem in ANSYS workbench, with internal heat generation and some heat flux into the system (representing Joule heating). The heat is dissipated via convection and radiation on various surfaces. I am wanting to see how much heat is lost through each surface...

    Radiation surface area for fins

    Hi, Thank you for the replies. The 'view factor' was the term I was looking for. The fins are not actually for heat dissipation, they are just part of an existing geometry I am trying to analyse, so I am not trying to optimise the performance, just understand how I should simulate it. Thanks...

    Radiation surface area for fins

    Hi, I am currently trying to simulate heat loss from a complex geometry using FEA. I have an object similar to a pipe with radial fins and I am trying to allow for heat loss from this body due to radiation. Should the surface area used for radiation heat loss be the entire body surface? Even...
