Information

This example illustrates modeling of multi-layer materials. It also tests if the multi-layer material computes the same heat transfer with its boundary condition as two instances of a single layer material. The insulation is computed in steady-state, whereas the brick is computed using transient heat conduction.

The cheEqu block computes the difference between the heat fluxes, which should be equal except for the numerical approximation error of the solver.

  Changed assertion with a computation of the difference.
  This is for issue 576.
• May 1, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
  Declared the parameter record to be a parameter, as declaring its elements to be parameters does not imply that the whole record has the variability of a parameter.
• March 6 2010, by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation.
