Reply To: Temperature Discrepancy in ANSYS Additive Simulation With and Without Contact.

Hi Erik, 

Thanks alot for your response.

 

I am applying a temperature boundary condition to nodes using the APDL command (BF,,,,) in ANSYS for two different scenarios:

 

1.With contact: Two separate bodies with contact defined between them.

2.Without contact: The two bodies are combined into a single solid in SpaceClaim, so no contact is needed.

Could you provide insights on how contacts affect temperature transfer between solids in such simulations? I'm seeing differences in temperature distribution between the two cases and would appreciate any explanations.

 

Thank you!
