We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi,

 In Ansys Mechanical APDL, you can specify thermal contact conductance using the Contact Properties dialog. The thermal contact conductance (TCC) is a coefficient that defines the conductive heat transfer between two contacting surfaces, and it can be set as a constant value or as a function of temperature, pressure, time, and location using a table. The formula for conductive heat transfer is q = TCC x (Tt - Tc), where q is the heat flux per area, TCC is the thermal contact conductance coefficient, and Tt and Tc are the temperatures of the contact points on the target and contact surfaces, respectively. 

Hope this helps,

Thanks

Aurojyoti.
