SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on simulating 1D thermal conduction in Comsol Multiphysics 4.4, specifically addressing the absence of vacuum in the material list. Users suggest creating a new component with a null thermal conductivity by selecting "User defined" for thermal conductivity and setting it to 0. This method is analogous to techniques used in electrical conduction simulations, providing a practical solution for modeling vacuum conditions in thermal simulations.
