What is the difference between blocks and plates?
|
The main differences are: ` Plates are meant to be used in place of thin objects. ` Blocks allow six-sided control for meshing and thermal specifications, whereas plates allow for only two-sided control (ignore edge effects for thin edges out of plane). ` Blocks can be resistive network, whereas plates can be conducting thin or contact resistance plates. In addition, both blocks and plates can be solid, fluid or hollow objects.
