Hello

I am learning Optistruct and been trying to run a transient thermal simulation with a contact at 1 surface. I defined the contact same as I did for steady-state simulation, but it didn’t work.
I tried looking up for contact definition in transient thermal simulations, but it is not in any of the tutorials or community posts. I am not sure what I did wrong.

 

Best Regards,

    Hey

    Tried that, didn’t work.

    I got a response from Altair that 2021.2 has physics not implemented. Asked me to upgrade.
