Investigating the conductive heat flow INSIDE a solid
 

Hello,

My problem is simple : I would like to define a plane tha tcuts across a solid, and monitor the heat flow going through this plane (i.e. inside the solid, and not on a wall)

I am quite confused as to how to achieve that with CFD-post...
The wall heat flow is available, but only between two different solids. Is it possible at all to investigate the flow inside one solid ?

send your model and clearly see what you would like to do

Sorry, this will not be possible for confidentiality issues.

Just imagine one box-shaped solid. In post-processing, I defined a a plane "slicing it in half".
I would like to know the heat flow going through this plane. The difficulty being that this plane is not a wall between solid.
Is this clear ?

Maybe one way of you do this it's to create in DM the two solids (the two part of you model) and join how single body, selecting both and click with right button and join the bodies, it works.

Yes, that was the first thing i thought of to.
But it would be quite a tideous solution for me. It would actually imply to modify several geometries for me (different configurations), re-edit several meshes, and redo a lot of computations.
With no better solution, i will do that, but i was hoping to find an easier way...
