Hello Erik,

Thank you for your response. I had seen that page before, but I wanted to ask if there might be a way, perhaps through APDL programming or a similar method, to enable the Surface Coating feature to work for thermal analyses as well.

If using Surface Coating is not feasible, how could I perform a thermal analysis while accounting for the difference in material properties in a very thin first layer?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Best regards,
