Features

Additional features to be used in several solutions are demonstrated in this chapter.

Contact Resistance - Thermal

This is a Thermal Testcase with FluxCoupling and ContactResistance. We apply 1 W and a resistance of \(1 W/C\). Therefore, we expect a temperature difference of \(1^2 C\) at the interface. The simulation result agrees well (picture below).

The following figure shows the two conductors. On the left and right electrode faces there are fixed temperatures (zero and 100 degrees) applied.

The picture also shows the dialogue of the simulation object that is used to create such an ’Contact Resistance’
