SolidsHeatsink Tutorial
Some objects for thermal analysis can be represented using planar mesh geometry, such as a single plane representing a flat wall or one side of a hollow box. The "thickness" of the planar geometry can be parametrically input. However, other objects with large interior solid volumes and low relative surface areas are better represented by an exterior boundary mesh "filled" with solid materials. The latter approach is supported using the Boundary Element Method and is the focus of this tutorial.
