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 , 

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
