It is possible to set the heatflux for entity of dimension 1D and 2D, including thin-walled elements:

The relevant commands are listed below:

create heatflux [ID] [name <'name'>] [{add | on} {sideset | surface | curve | face | tri | edge} <entity_list>] [value <value>]

create heatflux [ID] [name <'name'>] [{add | on} {sideset | surface | face | tri} <entity_list>] [top <value> bottom <value>]

modify heatflux {ID_list | 'name' | all} [name <'name'>] [{add | remove} {sideset | surface | curve | face | tri | edge} <entity_list>] [value <value>]

modify heatflux {ID_list | 'name' | all} [name <'name'>] [{add | remove} {sideset | surface | face | tri} <entity_list>] [top <value> bottom <value>]

Heatflux on upper and lower surfaces

Heatflux can be applied on the upper and lower surfaces of shell elements. To specify the application area, use keywords top and bottom.
