I need to model the air temperature inside an enclosure heated up by an ambient temperature. To do this I made a CAD model of my enclosure with a fitted block inside of the enclosure to act as air, this is the object that I want to see the temperature distribution of along with the enclosure walls. The first image shows my model in COMSOL. At the center of the block representing air is another solid (representing a controller) made of polycarbonate, which I would also like to know the temperature distribution of. My goal was to generate the temperature distribution of these objects when starting at room temperature (65F) and being exposed to a hotter ambient temperature (80, 90, and 100F) for 1 hour.
I'm new to COMSOL and I can't figure out how to make this simulation happen. I have my model imported and all the materials set. I'm not too sure what Physics settings and boundary conditions I need to use in order to accomplish this simulation. I've attached a link showing my COMSOL model to help visualize my design.
