What're the system requirements for a 3D heat transfer model

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hallo,

I have modelled the heat transfer within a block which has some air voids under the mode of "fluid thermal interaction". The heat transfer includes conduction, convection and radiation.
At the computational stage, it takes too long to solve the 3D model. Is my laptop not powerful enough to get the solution? Or probably I made some mistakes during modelling process? What's the basic system requirement for COMSOL?

I'm very new to COMSOL, so I can't find where the problem is, hoping anyone can help me.

Thanks for your time
