Shell conduction sides

  Hello,
  I'm using shell conduction on external walls of my model. I've noticed that Fluent adds face zones with copied names of the zones that I applied shell conduction on with :external added to them. Are this external faces of my model? (outer surface of the shell conduction zone).
  If yes, where points their normal vector?
  
  Best Regards,
  Wojciech

  Hello Yes, this would be the external wall.
  If you wish to understand this better, I'd suggest that you read the section on "Post Processing Shells" in the Fluent user's guide.
