 The Convection Materials are implemented to take into account the heat exchange by convection between the boundary of a mesh and the surrounding fluid atmosphere. They are designed to be associated with ''Tm(2)Boundary2D(3D)Element'', but will also be usable with ''Tm(2)Source2D(3D)Element'', even if the physical meaning is questioning... The Convection Materials are implemented to take into account the heat exchange by convection between the boundary of a mesh and the surrounding fluid atmosphere.

 +Excepted to the ''ConvectionMaterial'', the flux is linked to a spatial distribution functions related to a set of  local coordinates {$x'$, $y'$, $z'$}, which are handled by the X, Y and Z Axis defined in the Material.
 +The local Axis are Line Objects that are defined in the CurveSet and referred in the material by their number.
