  Dear all,
  
  I am looking for a high-level description of the Discovery Aim model, specifically the thermal model. We leased the model previously for a calculation, the client said the model is like a BlackBox so a description of the model is necessary.
  
  I think the description should include the methodologies the model adopted (finite element?) and heat transfer calculation methods and as such.
  
  Can anyone provide an existing document such as the technical manual or user manual where I can find this high-level description of the model?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  I've sent a request to our AIM team to see if there is any documentation outlining these areas.

    As AIM uses the MAPDL solver under-the-hood for solid thermal analysis, the MAPDL Theory Reference is the best source of information.
    
    This covers the solver details for heat transfer:

    Brian Bueno Hi Brian, I cannot access the website which asks me to log in with an email and password. My lease to the Ansys Discovery Aim has been ended for a while so I don't have a customer number.
    
    Can you send a copy? or any other way to read it?
