Reply To: Steady State Thermal Analysis

SOLN 1. Thermal analysis only.
I have solved the issue. The problem was with incorrect contact (for area 2 - green region in the image)
For anyone referring this thread for solution:
Since it is thermal analysis only, I used birth time and death time given in the contact option to avoid moving my model. Yet the oscillations (Area 1 - red region in the image) existed. Using PTYPE = 0 and SOLVER = 3 in THERMAL_SOLVER and Fully implicit (TIP = 1) option in THERMAL_TIMESTEP help smoothen the curve
