I would like to know how can I connect (couple) two adjacent shells created with the shell conduction model. 

Thank you

Hello,

Are you attempting to connect these shells that are created on two different face zones? Could you please share a screenshot of where you have these shell layers?

Thank you.

Hello,

I cannot paste images, nor links, nor anything different than words because I always get the same error:

The situation is that I have two wall zones (Wall 1 and Wall 2), each one including shells from the Shell Conduction Model, and I want to couple one layer from the shell conduction of Wall 1 with another layer from shell conduction of Wall 2.

Thank you

Shell conduction should allow heat to pass into neighbouring shells. However, it passes into the same layer, so regardless of what is set up layer 2 will pass heat to layer 2 in the adjacent shell. Check the documentation to confirm.

I can create a dummy layer of infinite thermal conductivity to solve that.

However, I do not see any information in the documentation regarding how to couple adjacent shells.

It's automatic, check on here as I'm fairly sure I answered this in June.

It was answered that the shells are adiabatic:

and I have checked that by simulating a simple case, but I have not received any answer in order to couple the shells.

Hello,

Just to understand, are the two walls (wall 1 and wall 2) coupled to begin with? 

Also, you should now be able to post images in your post.
