March 23, 2013, 17:35	Difference between Total Heat Source and Volumetric Heat Generation?	#1
sieginc. Member adam Join Date: Oct 2011 Posts: 52 Rep Power: 14	Are these two options basically the same thing? Is there any difference? Currently I have an inductor modeled in STAR. I have the windings modeled as cylinders and the regions have a volumetric heat generation, but I'm wondering if total heat source would be a better alternative unless there is no difference between the two.
