Error: No enabled surfaces in enclosure [2] , radiation data.

I am trying to do a transient heat analysis simulation on an assembly. But I keep getting an error:

 It is asking for radiation data. I may have clicked on radiation data because I am still figuring out stuff. How do I delete any radiation data? I just use convection+conductive heat. I will attach the files.

Hi 5040018,

A problem with enclosure 2 implies that their is an enclosure 1, so I think you must have done more than "I may have clicked on radiation data".

Enclosures are used with body to body radiation, so it sounds like you used "Setup > Thermal Loads > Body-to-body Radiation". I think the dialog that appears has a way, maybe a checkbox, to include an enclosure in the calculations or to not include it. You will need to not include it for enclosure 2.

If your model is not setup for body-to-body radiation in enclosure 1, then you should disable that one, too.

The other possibility is that it has something to do with the Google drives.

Note that the one file you provided (the .fem file) is only one of several files required to open your model. If it becomes necessary to re-attach your model, please search for the thread "Create,  Post, or Archive Your Model" for instructions.
