Temperatures missed in the solid area in "Conjugate Heat Transfer" calculation --- Super Simple Model attached!!

Why are no Temperatures calculated in the 'solid' domain, while they are calculated in the fluid domain.

I easily understand that no velocities can be calculated for the solid area, but temperature should be, I think.

Is there again some checkbox, I have overlooked ?

Hi,
The temperature is solved, as it must be. Simply you 'don't see' it in surface or contour graphs, because you have 'Thermal Light' color table selected and the solid has about the maximum temperature (almost uniform), which corresponds to white colour. Just change the color table, like to Rainbow, and temperature is also shown in a non-white color.

Hi,

Perfect! Like Sherlock Holmes :-) Thank You !

Yes now I see: "no data" and "maximum data" have identical colour coding and therefore are inditinuishable with the default colour table and "default" colour scaling. Unfortunately the white colour redraws the presentation of velocities, where the perfectly same area is presented in the perfectly same colour, where white means "no data" while in the temperature presentation this color means maximum temperature-
