User Manual

Parameters - Model Parameters:

In this menu the user selects the dimensionality of the problem (2D or 3D), the solution type ( transient or Steady State), the flow regime (Laminar or Turbulent), the initial temperature (Note: The locally defined temperatures will take precedence over initial temperature specified here), the gravity field ( for natural convection problems), and whether radiation should be included in the analysis as well as tolerances for the creation of radiation surfaces.

This menu is displayed during the initialization of a new model. Clicking OK after selecting appropriate parameters will display the graphics windows.
All the information provided on this menu ( except the model dimensionality) can be changed by the user at any time during model creation. For example user can change initial temperature anytime before job submittal.
The "Include Electrical Effects" check box indicates whether electrical solver is to be activated or not. Selecting this option results in displaying a data box to input reference voltage
The Radiation check box is checked to include radiation effects in the model. If radiation is included in the analysis two additional boxes will be displayed where minimum and maximum size of radiation surfaces can be input.( Note: please leave the defaults unless you have a strong reason to change them.
