Thin Layer boundary in Heat Transfer in Solids can only be modelled via Thick Approximation

Hello,

I've been using the Heat Transfer in Solids module but noticed that for the Thin Shell (boundary) node the Layer Type drop-down menu only contains the "Thermally thick approximation" option. Is there a possibility that I'm missing a license that is required for any of the remaining 2 options - "General" and "Thermally thin approximation"?

This appears to be the case for 3D, 2D, 2D axisymmetric, and for blank models from scratch.

Kind regards, Alex

I am in fact missing the Heat Transfer module, as apparently there is some heat transfer in the base COMSOL license which confused me thinking that I did have access to the Heat Transfer module.

Can be closed.
