PDE TOOLBOOX heat transfer error

4 views (last 30 days)
Why am I getting this error??? I want to observe conduction heat transfer on Stacked Cylindricall Cells. I keep getting the same error;
Check for missing argument or incorrect argument data type in call to function 'thermalProperties'.
Error in bugnshaf (line 26) ''thermalProperties(modelc,'ThermalConductivity',k,'SpecificHeat',Cp,'MassDensity',rho)''
My codes
modelc = createpde('thermal','transient');
modelc = createpde
gm = multicylinder(0.28,[0.724 0.802 0.702 3.353],'ZOffset',[0 0.724 1.526 2.228])
modelc.Geometry = gm
pdegplot(modelc,'CellLabels','on','FaceAlpha',0.99)
subplot(1,2,2)
pdegplot(model,'FaceAlpha',0.25,'FaceLabel','on')
figure
mesh_Hmax = generateMesh(modelc,'Hmax',0.056)
pdemesh(mesh_Hmax)

k = 40.3; % Thermal conductivity, W/(m*C)

You are overwriting modelc immediately after creating the thermal model. Remove the second line: modelc = createpde

I ran your code after removing the line I mentioned and got the following result. No error.
