Error in applyBoundaryCondition: symmetry boundary condition
Hello everyone! I am modelling the cross section of the pipe of a heat exchanger. The following below is an isothermal case.
My issue was that I could not set a symmetry boundary condition, i.e. at the center of the cross section (r=0) there is no heat transfer. Therefore, I created a very small rectangle R1 to apply the condition to. I tried to select it as a "Face" in the applyBoundaryCondition command, but I got an error. I tried using all the rectangle edges (1:4) and I am now getting the following error:
Incorrect number or types of inputs or outputs for function applyBoundaryCondition.
I even tried to change the line to:
applyBoundaryCondition(model,"neumann","Edge",1:4,"q",[0;0;0;0],"g",[0;0;0;0])
but still nothing. Could anybody suggest what the problem is? Thank you!
