(OP)
In thermal analysis using Ansys, when applying convection boundary conditions, shouldn't the heat generation change as you change the heat transfer coefficient value?
  

RE: Convection-ansys

(OP)
it is in a steady state, by the way

RE: Convection-ansys

What is the link of Heat Generation with Heat transfer coefficient ??  Please elaborate your question.

RE: Convection-ansys

I agree with bagarbilla. Heat generation has not to do with heat transfer coefficient.

What exactly is your problem?

RE: Convection-ansys

(OP)
I only meant the heat transfered from one layer to another. In my model I have 5 layers. I am giving a constant temperature to one side, but trying different film coefficients. But every time (with different coeff) i get the same heat transfer!

RE: Convection-ansys

Film coefficients will change the temperature distribution across the films. Heat transfer will remain same as the simulation is steady state. and condition here is at equilibrium. ( i hope i made my point ! )
