Contact in transient thermal simulation

Sree_21980

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,

Hello Sree,

I see in contact, property type is freeze, please change property option to property ID

Please revert for any further queries.

Hey

Tried that, didn’t work.

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