Boundary Conditions—Bioheat Equation<br />

1 From the Physics menu select Boundary Settings.<br />

2 Select all the exterior boundaries (get them by pressing Ctrl+A, and note that the<br />

following step ignores the interior boundaries).<br />

3 In the Boundary condition list select Thermal insulation, then click OK.<br />

Note: Because the model neglects metabolic heat generation you set Q met to 0. The<br />

variable Qav_rfwh is a subdomain expression for the resistive heating provided by the<br />

TM Waves application mode.<br />

Scalar Variables—TM Waves<br />

1 From the Multiphysics menu select 2 TM Waves (rfwh).<br />

2 From the Physics menu select Scalar Variables to open the Application Scalar Variables<br />

dialog box.<br />

3 Find the variable nu_rfwh and set its value to nu, then click OK.<br />
