  DTRM is an older radiation model. I'd suggest looking at DO, S2S and Monte Carlo as they're much newer. The hanging node means you used cutcell or adaption, sliding mesh means you've got a non-conformal somewhere. n

  Thank you so much for the suggestion Rob!! I looked through the setting of the mesh and made sure adaptive sizing was turned off. The mesh was generated by the ANSYS software, is there a way I could fix the mesh such that it doesn't use cutcell or adaption? n

  Check the domain is continuous, ie there are no contact regions caused by you not using a multibody part (DesignModeler) or share topology (SpaceClaim). Then just mesh using anything other than cutcell (assembly meshing) or hex dominant method (as it produces awful cell quality). n
