<br clear="all"><div>Hi All,</div><div><br></div><div>I noticed that when I set surface T to <i>any value</i>, there was no change in the surface temperature. However, if I set toptbc=1 and toptbcval=X, where X is any value, then the surface T is the value X. Is there any particular reason why the surfaceT switch wouldn't work?</div>
<div><br></div><div>While on this subject, if surfaceT is not utilized, and toptbcval is set to the default of 0, is it a safe assumption that the body would be in direct contact, and in thermal equilibrium, with space (surface value of 0)? i.e. No thermal contributions from exterior (e.g. stellar), or interior (e.g. trapped heat from atmosphere/ conductive lid ) sources.</div>
