bl + tetra mesh boundary condition type and assigning heat source on respective components

Hi,

I am using hypermesh classic version , in that solver is Acusolve. I am trying to simulate a two wheeler with wind tunnel for thermal analysis. After generating the BL + tetra mesh, when we set up boundary conditions in solver, along with air volume, air volume BL will also be there right. similarly for components like battery and controller, their respective BL would be there. so, if I am assigning heat source on battery, should I assign heat source on battery BL also? And what type of boundary conditions should I keep these component BL's in ? like walls? or volumes or interface ?

please let me know

If you are using MeshControls in HyperMesh, there is an option in Volume Selector, that enables you to combine BL and Tetra in One Comp.

The volume elements (tets, BLs, etc) should all be merged into one component - then the heat source applied to that single component. (Can that be done in HyperMesh?) You'll probably have a more straightforward path using HyperWorks CFD.
