Boundary conditions must be defined for all the surfaces on the perimeter of the models, as wellas at the surfaces adjacent to the radiation enclosure. These boundary conditions define thetemperatures and film coefficients for each element of the perimeter. Different boundary

conditions are defined for the surfaces on the interior and the exterior of the cross section.Surfaces which are assumed to have no heat transfer are assigned Adiabatic boundaryconditions.
