HI,everyone! I defined a conducting solid in a geo file. Beacuse this simulation used radiation model,so i could not define the patch group number in command file.In the handbook i know that can be defined in pr-process,but i do not know how to do it.Can you tell me how to do with it ? thanks!

You could manually edit the geo file before creating the radiation file. Jan

Could you explain it in detail?I should edit in Build or in geo file? If in geo file, where should i edit or modify? You know, there are two NO. in geo file,and i don't know whice is patch group number.

Thanks!

You can edit the geo file with any text editor, the last number is the patch group number (LABEL). Hope it helps Jan

/* PATCH TYPE, NAME, NO., RANGE, DIREC, BLK. NO., AND LABEL */
