I want to calculate the thermal response of my unit cell structure in CST 2021. But, when I want to set Temperature Source, It says "No thermal Conductive Solid Has been Defined". But the materials I have used consist of Tungsten. I want to know the response based on Tungsten. It will be a great help for me if anyone can provide me with the solution or method for the task. Thank you All.
Have you defined the thermal properties for tungsten in its material properties, and have you defined the material as tungsten?
Malcolm White Thank you, Sir, for your response. I have certainly defined the material as Tungsten, and I have taken the material from the CST default Library. I haven't influenced any of the material characteristics; they are exactly as they were.
Should I manipulate the .mtd file (material file in the material library in the installation folder)? Or, there is another way to alter material properties? Please help me out, I will appreciate your advice. Thank you again.
If you click on the material in the model tree then you can see what its properties are and edit them for your model. The Tungsten in my CST materials library is an optical model only and has no thermal properties.
Malcolm White Thank you, Sir, for your comment. Yes, I have clicked on the material, and it is an optical model only and has no thermal properties. How can I add the material properties, and what thermal properties should have this optical model of Tungsten? Thanks, Sir.
You need to look on the internet or in a text book to find out the properties of tungsten that you need for your simulation. There are named boxes in the material properties for you to fill in.
You can rename the material.
