Hi All,
For a combined thermal/structural 2d model of a steel plate im using plane55 for the thermal part. On the surface I want to apply convection and a dirichlet BC. When i apply convection to the plate on element level, the convection seems dependent on the element size. When applying to nodes only the sides of the plate work. Is it possible to apply convection on PLANE55 elements on the flat plane side? so not on the edges of an element...?
or: how do i apply constant convection on a plane55 element
ps i dont want to apply convection on areas because that needs KPs i dont want..
Cheers,
Bram
