Physical properties and element attributes > Defining physical properties
Duct
Use the Duct physical property table to define the thickness, t, of the 1D axisymmetric duct elements when you model annular flow.
This physical property table is available in Simcenter 3D Thermal/Flow, Simcenter 3D Electronic Systems Cooling, and Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal.
Where do I find it?
| Application | Pre/Post |
