Thus, Tc=Tt for TCC=infinity.  However if user defines too large a TCC value, it will create numerical instability issues. So the default calculation is an attempt to come up with a large enough value for TCC to simulate &#8220;perfect&#8221; thermal contact without causing numerical instability.  Partial thermal contact can be achieved by throttling TCC down to a small value. As TCC gets smaller, the Delta Temp between contact and target surfaces should increase. As TCC approaches zero, q=zero and the interfaces approaches a perfectly insulated condition with no heat transfer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162179","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-18-2","topic-tag-contact","topic-tag-genral","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-structural-and-thermal","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27795"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["1-24-2023  20:20:18"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["1842"],"siebel_km_number":["2052084"],"product_version":["18.2"],"km_published_date":["2017-10-24T12:58:54.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Mechanical"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/162179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
