heat transfer problem between many objects

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everybody

I'm newbie here, and my question is simple.

Problem description
I have many objects of different shapes and thermal properties (as shown in attached picture) on a plane.

I need to calculate (for each object) the gradient of temperature over time assuming only radiation and conduction modes.

Question
Does Comsol takes into account the visibility of objects to each others before calculating radiation between objects ? i.e. Heat transfer module runs calculation only for visible objects and takes into account view factor.

Best regards
A. Bacetti
