Do you have any suggestions?

Hello, I'm currently tasked with examining thermal conduction between two 2D bodies that are in contact along a line. There's internal heat generation at this interface, specified as W/m². Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this issue using the HeatSolver solver, aside from the approach of defining a thin region at the interface?

If your two bodies share nodes at the interface heat will transfer. If not you can use mortar boundary conditions to transfer heat

Hi David,

Do you have a jump in temperature i.e. is the contact between the different bodies good or poor?
