In thermal analysis using Ansys, when applying convection boundary conditions, shouldn't the heat generation change as you change the heat transfer coefficient value?
 
it is in a steady state, by the way
 
What is the link of Heat Generation with Heat transfer coefficient ?? Please elaborate your question.
 
I agree with bagarbilla. Heat generation has not to do with heat transfer coefficient.

What exactly is your problem?
 
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!
 
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 ! )
