I'm doing the thermal of this brake disc and I'm not getting what I expected. I need to simulate this brake disc running at 60 km/h and stopping in 1.1 seconds. But the simulation is heavy and is not giving me the expected values

    Could you add a few more details on what exactly you're trying? and what happened, in order to give more details so that more people could help. Also adding some pictures could be helpful.

    I need to simulate a brake disc spinning and the pads applying pressure to lock the disc. The disk rotates around the axis at 60 km/h. I need to simulate for 1.1 seconds which is the milling time of the car and find the maximum temperature

    I believe you have seen this example in the Radioss documentation, right?

    Not sure if it can help you.
