What are the Viewfactor and Clearance in Radiation, in Contact Property Options?
I am trying to explore the possibility of modelling the heat transfer (in Abaqus) from the skin surface into textiles.
Radiation Heat Flux = q= F*sigma*epsilon*(T^4 - Tenv^4)
Viewfactor = F varies between 0-1 and depend on how two objects could see each other
Clearance= distance between two objects which may vary because of contraction or expansion
Hi Amir, tahnk you so much for your support and comment. I will continue my attempts.

A little more refining on the definition of view factor:
The view factor (F12) is the fraction of energy released by an isothermal, opaque, and diffuse surface 1 by means of emission or reflection, that is received by the surface 2 by means of absorption or reflection.
The following link may be useful to calculate view factor for standard geometries:
