User Convection Coefficient

asked 1 year ago

Hello everyone!

I want to use a constant Convection Coefficient for interior surfaces.

I found that I can do that using SurfaceProperty:ConvectionCoefficients object (image below).

Is it the only object that I have to use or should I also use SurfaceConvectionAlgorithm:Inside and define it as AdaptiveConvectionAlgorithm.

Thank you

The adaptive convection algorithm has nothing to do with using custom convection coefficients. (You can read more about it in the Engineering Documentation.)

So the answer is that you only have to use the SurfaceProperty:ConvectionCoefficients object.
