How is this possible?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The flag and the support rod form a single body in the geometry (same material), I set a share topology between the two 10 mm thick busbars in Spaceclaim. The connection between the flag and the inner busbar is bonded (it does not allow anything else).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The busbars and the flags are made of different materials (brass and copper), so I had to define them as separate bodies.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I set the 0 V voltage on the far side surfaces of the busbars (it is not visible in the image).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did I set something wrong? The result looks pretty incredible (the busbars do not heat up to a temperature higher than the ambient temperature).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your help!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;br&gt;Kriszti&aacute;n&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752824364-image.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752824377-image_2.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/18-07-2025-1752824389-image_3.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-437182","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_topic_id":["437182"],"_bbp_subscription":["31487","3937","170445"],"_bbp_author_ip":["147.161.130.80"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["437378"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["437378"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-07-22 00:14:48"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["31487","3937","170445"],"_btv_view_count":["191"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_lock":["1753636469:31487"]},"test":"udvardyszabokrisztiangmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/437182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/437182\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
