Hi All,

 

is there a way to perform a thermo-structural analysis of two bodies in contact, in which the energy related to the contact tangent force is converted to heat?

I want to obtain the temperature map in a brake, given the geometry, the material properties and the contact force.

 

Thanks,

Enrico

    As far as I know, not in OptiStruct.

    Maybe in RADIOSS, but not quite sure.
