Hello,

Either one should work. Only the mesh numbering should be different.

Best regards,

Hello Yvan,

Sorry, I do not quite understand what 'mesh numbering' means. Are they 'Symmetry 1' and 'Symmetry 2' which is periodic BC?

Thank you very much

Best Regards

Hello,

Mesh numbering is an internal property, so you can ignore it.

You need both Symmetry1 and Symmetry2 in you selection criteria, which implies a logical "or":

"Symmetry1 or Symmetry2"

Hello Yvan,

Excuse me for giving you so much trouble, thanks, two more questions, what is the unit for Exchange coefficient which is in the boundary conditions in the GUI? And what's the meaning of 'Prescribed flux' in the Thermal Type of Boundary conditions? If the flux is equal to 0, does it mean that there is no heat exchange?

Thank you very much

Best Regards

Hello,

The units should be in international system units (with flux in W/m2 = h(delta T)).

And yes, 0 flux = adiabatic.

Yvan
