Dear Erik,

Thanks for your help! When I tried to implement the APDL I had another problem. As the links shows, I tried to implement the APDL under "contact region" with worked out pretty well. I created two APDLs for each contact region. 
I have (contact region 2 and contact region 5). Is it correct that the script for CID is the APDL for the contact side and the part with TID is for the target side, so that I can make APDLs for different materials for each contact material?

Another big question I am facing is that I also have the folder named "non linear" where I have defined a friction coefficient and also I have integrated another APDL where I have defined how much heat goes into which part of my break (in my case 50% into the break disk and 50% into the break pad) - see in the pictures below. As you can see, I also have to enter a friction coefficient, which I had set to 0.4. But this seems wrong when I already have the friction APDL as you gave me. Do I need to delete the "non-linear" folder, or will this not affect my simulation because of the APDL I have created in the "contact region 2 and 5" part?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

Daniel
