The Cylindrical Shape C component models a generic ideal thermal conductor with cylindrical shape.
Cylindrical Shape is divided into concentric Ring and central Cylindrical nodes. The total number of these smaller nodes is determined by the Nodes parameter.
You can get the thermal information from each Ring and Cylindrical node.
The geometry of Cylindrical Shape C is the following.
The image below illustrates the case of Cylindrical Shape C having Nodes=[3, 3]. The order of port_centeri is the following.
The numbers of the port_outeri of the nodes are determined by the order from front to back.
This rule is the same as the numbering of port_outeri of Cylindrical Shape A.
The node and port_front[i] numbers
The node and port_back[i] numbers

Note: If you enable Show Visualization option, you can visualize temperature change as colored geometry in 3-D Playback Window. To make this function available, you have to enable 3-D Animation option in Multibody Settings. The quality of the visualization is affected if any open plot windows are behind the 3-D Playback Window. If you are experiencing playback issues, try moving the 3-D Playback Window so that it does not overlap a plot window. Alternatively, minimize or close any open plot windows. (For more details about the relation between color and temperature, see Color Blend help).
