Hi Swen, To solve your problem, you have to use the External Data connection. If you haven't used this before, it involves exporting a .csv file of data from Fluent and using External Data to transfer this to Mechanical. In External Data, you can modify the coordinates so the mapping is done correctly. For Fluent axisymmetric cases, the axis has to be the x axis and the mesh has to be in the positive y region. In External Data, you have to set column B (Fluent x-coordinate) to Y Coordinate, and column C (Fluent y-coordinate) to X Coordinate. For the contacts, I am not sure what's your exact problem but I would suggest checking the contact normal so all of them have the same orientation.
