I'm trying to model contact resistance (via thermal conductance) between two edges in a 2D simulation. However, the units of thermal conductance are only [W/C], whereas for a 2D model should they be [W/m-C] as in a 3D model they are [W/m^2-C].

Is this a typo or am I missing something? Taking into account the length of the contact segments gives unrealisitc results.
