Hello all,

in the analysis of cold plate . I have fins inside the fluid domain and outside the cold plate.

If inside and outside fins are treated as thermal shells in acusolve then in hypermesh the elements of fins will be in which collector: fluid collector or coldplate solid collector? As in pic you can see the placement of inside fins and outside fins. 

Please help.

    If you have to work with thermal shells for these fins, it would be better to use AcuConsole for preprocessing. You would have to have all these fins in a separate surface and then with right click on surface, create a thermal shell (that would appear as additional volume).

    Hello ,

    warm greetings.

    thank you ydigit for the answer. This time I have proceeded without using thermal shells. By using separate internal surfaces option in acusolve. Then separating the surface of fin in touch with fluid to fluid wall and other surface in solid part.

    I will take up this analysis again by using thermal shells.

    Ragards.
