Test model for heat conductor
Information
This example illustrates how to use a solid material, set its heat capacity to zero,
and then use this material in a multi-layer construction.
The plot window shows that the insulation is computed in steady state, where
as the brick is computed using transient heat conduction.

Test model for heat conductor
Information
This example tests if two conductors in series computes the same heat transfer
as one conductor with twice the thickness.
The assert block will stop the simulation if the heat exchange with the boundary
condition differs.

Test model for heat conductor
Information
This example tests the implementation of the phase-change material (PCM) model.
The phase-change material matPCM is exposed to the same boundary
conditions as the non phase-change material.
In the construction conPCM2, the phase change is around 20.5 °C.
In the construction conPCM, the phase change is around 40.5 °C, which
is above the temperature range simulated in this model.
Therefore, the same result is expected for the PCM material conPCM
as is for two conductors in series.
Note that in case of using matPCM, the internal energy is
the dependent variable, whereas in case of two conductors in series, the temperature
is the dependent variable. However, both models will
produce the same results.
The assert block will stop the simulation
if there is a difference in heat fluxes.

This example illustrates modeling of multi-layer materials. It also tests if the
multi-layer material computes the same heat transfer with its boundary condition
as two instances of a single layer material.
The insulation is computed in steady-state, whereas the brick is computed using transient
heat conduction.
