AI Thread Summary
To define the temperature at the common surface of two cylinders in COMSOL, users need to access the Physics settings and check the "mark the interior boundaries" option. This action activates the middle surface for boundary condition (BC) definitions. After enabling this feature, users can successfully set the desired temperature BC on the common surface. This approach allows for accurate modeling of thermal interactions between the cylinders. Properly configuring the boundary conditions is essential for effective simulation results.

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and COMSOL. I want to define the temperature at the common surface of two cylinders in contact. When I model the cylinders, the common surface (middle surface) is not active for defining any BC. Please tell me how can I do this in COMSOL. Thanks.

go to Physics->Boundary setting->mark the interior boundaries checkbox.
and then you can set BC.
 
Thank you very much.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
