Radiation heat transfer using PDE toolbox

Hello,
I'm trying to obtain the temperature at a given point of my layered 2D cross-section geometry considering thermal conductivity, convection and radiation. Inside the geometry there are horizontal and vertical edges.
The code is working fine when no convection or radiation are used. However when I include them, the results don't vary much (only on the 6th decimal) although they should do it (for radiation) since I'm considering high temperatures.
I'm defining what edges should consider the radiation and convection in the following way:
eps = @(region,state) obj.epsilon*region
outerCC = @(region,state) obj.conv_coef*region
thermalBC(obj.tm_SS,'Edge', 31,33],'ConvectionCoefficient',outerCC,'Emissivity',eps,'AmbientTemperature',Ta,'Vectorized','on');
Do I need to specify the pde coefficients for each edge or face? or the solver extracts them when using thermalBC?
In the code, I'm not using commands such as ApplyBoundaryCondition or specifyCoefficients . If I try to use specifyCoefficients, I define the coefficients in the following way:
Ta = 25;
c = length*K;
a = @(~,state) 2*obj.conv_coef + 2*obj.epsilon*obj.tm_SS.StefanBoltzmannConstant*state.u.^3;
f = 2*obj.conv_coef*Ta + 2*obj.epsilon*obj.tm_SS.StefanBoltzmannConstant*Ta^4;
d = length*Density*SpecificHeat;
coefs= specifyCoefficients(obj.tm_SS,'m',0,'d',d,'c',c,'a',a,'f',f,'Face',2);
but always obtain the following error:
Check for missing argument or incorrect argument data type in call to function 'specifyCoefficients'.
The model is defined as follows:
obj.tm_SS = createpde('thermal','steadystate');
gdm = [r0;r9;r1;r2;r3;r4;r5;r6;r7;r8]';
obj.g = decsg(gdm,'R0+(R9-R1)+R1+(R2-R3-R6-R7)+R3+R6+R7+(R4-R6-R7)+R6+R7+(R5-R8)+R8',['R0';'R9';'R1';'R2';'R3';'R4';'R5';'R6';'R7';'R8']');
obj.geometry=geometryFromEdges(obj.tm_SS,obj.g);
internalHeatSource(obj.tm_SS,obj.hfV_h,'Face',7);
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or, Do you have any advice on how to procede?
Thank you.

Hi Ruben,
Can you attache the complete working script to try out. Also which version of MATLAB are you using?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ruben,
Thanks for the code, it helped. All the BCs inside RadandConv == 1 block are applied on the edges that are interior to the domain. These boundary conditions, more accurately interface conditions, are not supported in PDE Toolbox:
Based on your setup it looks like you need surface-to-surface radiation modelling capability, unfortunately, it is not supported in PDE Toolbox.
Regards,
Ravi

I hope this is added in the future. Radiative heat transfer is necessary for my work.
Thanks
Paul
