Thermal Coupling dialog box

Use this dialog box to set options for the Thermal Coupling simulation object for the Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Space Systems Thermal, Electronic Systems Cooling, and Multiphysics solvers.

Type
Thermal Coupling	Models a thermal coupling of a specified type between each primary region and each secondary region. For more information, see Thermal Coupling options.
Perfect Contact	Performs element merging based on proximity to create an “infinite” conductance between each of the primary elements and the nearest of the secondary elements. Use only when the meshes are nearly aligned, or where the in-plane temperature gradients are insignificant. For more information, see Perfect Contact options.
Additional Conductance	Models free convective couplings computed using standard correlations for free convection from regular objects. For more information, see Additional Conductance options.
