Heat Transfer

(To be removed) Solve conduction-dominant heat transfer problems with convection and radiation occurring at boundaries

Note

Domain-specific heat transfer workflow will be removed. Use Unified Modeling instead. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.

In this workflow, you can only specify and store parameters belonging to thermal analysis.
