In Abaqus heat transfer analysis, when assigning furnace temperature to a column (H-Section), how we identify exposed and unexposed surfaces? As in a furnace, all surfaces are exposed. On which surfaces should radiation and convection interactions be assigned? As, for beams, typically, the top surface of the flange is considered unexposed while the remaining surfaces are considered exposed. What should be the approach for columns?
These are surfaces that are directly exposed to the furnace temperature and radiation. In the case of a column (H-Section), all surfaces are exposed to the furnace temperature, so all surfaces should be considered exposed. These are surfaces that are not directly exposed to the furnace temperature and radiation. In the case of a column, there are no unexposed surfaces since all surfaces are exposed to the furnace temperature. For accurate heat transfer simulations, radiation and convection interactions should be assigned to the exposed surfaces. This is because these surfaces are directly interacting with the furnace temperature and radiation.
