When a solid domain is included, CFX-Solver Manager reports the thermal energy that flows into and out of the solid, across existing boundaries. If the solid has a source term, the total thermal energy added is included in the CFX-Solver Output file.
The section for thermal energy at a solid boundary looks similar to the following:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boundary T-Energy - 2 Flow and Total Source Term Summary |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Boundary : Default Solid 0.0000E+00
Boundary : Default Fluid Solid2 -3.0742E+06
Subdomain : heater 3.0685E+06

Global T-Energy - 2 Balance: -5.6725E+03
When a solid in a porous domain is included, CFX-Solver Manager reports the thermal
energy that flows between the fluid and the solid (Domain Src
(Neg) in the sample below), and from the solid into and out of
existing boundaries (Boundary in the sample below). If the
solid has a source term, the total thermal energy
(Sub-Domain in the sample below) that is added is
included in the CFX-Solver Output file.
