Correct a FEM solid simulation software (solidworks simulation) to take in account convection
Correct a FEM solid simulation software (solidworks simulation) to take in account convection
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I am using SolidWorks Simulation (FEM) and I would like to conduct some simulation involving thin layers of air (60 mm) and natural convection. As the software is not Solidworks Flow (FVM), I think it will not give very good result because it understands air as a solid, and then only take conduction into account. How can I deal with the software to modelize the heat transfer due to convection, even if the convection will be very few. Do you think it is interesting to do this? Will the result be more accurate?
Thank you very much.

Can we modify the equation in Solidworks?
If you have any information about the mathematical purpose, I would be thankful as well.

I am already trying to play with the air conductivity to find a good value.
