Hi

I have just recently joined the Comsol community, and as a result, I am quite the beginner.

I am currently attempting to model heat diffusion through a window, I selected "heat transfer in solids" and built the model, using heat flux, but I am not sure if this is the correct way forward.

I also am struggling on generating a graph of results too, I have been going through the tutorials and progressing my way up the learning curve!

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Going through some tutorials, as you are doing, is a really good way to learn the software. There are two suitable step-by-step examples in the documentation that involve the same features that you require. They are titled “Axisymmetric Transient Heat Transfer” and “1D Heat Transfer with Radiation”. The second one also shows how to generate graphs.

Thanks for the help :)!

One more question, if I am trying to model convection etc of certain experiments, is the "heat transfer module" required, or is it possible to do this modelling without it?
