Convection (Simcenter Samcef)

Convection models the heat exchange of a structure with a fluid at a prescribed temperature or a prescribed enthalpy.

When you define the Convection constraint on a support, you define:

• The Fluid Temperature (TFC).

• The Convection Coefficient (CONV).

• The Exponent (EXP) of the convection law.

Where do I find it?

To define the convection, do one of the following:

• In the Simulation Navigator, right-click Constraint Container→New Constraint→Convection.

• In the Simulation Navigator under a Solution, right-click Constraints → New Constraint→ Convection.

• Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Convection .

• Select geometry. Right-click and choose Create Constraint→Convection.
