We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi , 

Within Explcit dynamics the temperature profiles are reported by expression "TEMPARATUREALL" and the source is due to plastic work converted to heat and may not be with frictional heating. 

You can monitor plastic work and contact force via trackers to investigate further. 

Please use transient structural application to study the heat formation due to contact interaction. 

Cheers, RamÂ
