Create a Thermal Convecting Zone load

Click Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Load Type list →Thermal Convecting Zone .

Select the polygon edges to specify the convecting zone.

Set the following:

Environment group

  • Fluid Material = Air

  • Temperature = 574.89 C

  • Pressure = 0.1115 N/mm^2(MPa)

Heat Transfer group

  • Area for Internal Edges = Subtract Thicknesses

  • Area Correction = Factor

  • Area Correction Factor = 3

  • Type = Heat Transfer Coefficient

  • Heat Transfer Coefficient = 15 W/m^2-dC

Click OK.
