Conjugate Heat Sim Stuck on 0%

I’m trying to model heat transfer within a battery enclosure using the Conjugate Heat Transfer Tool. I believe I have a suitable mesh but when I start the simulation it doesn’t progress past 0 per cent.

Hi!

Is there a particular reason to run this simulation transiently?

Transient simulations require a lot of caution to setup and can be lengthy to run. A transient case for over 2 hours of end time (such as yours) can take weeks to run. Suggestion: start out with a steady-state run.

Cheers

Thanks Ricardo I’ll try that

I guess you could add a similar remark when you click on running your first transient simulation. It would be a nice addition, with a link to a tutorial that explains when you need to run steady or transient simulations, provides some flow examples, and mentions standard practices, such as always running a steady simulation before a transient one.
