Thermal and Electrical Contact Resistance

Post by domcivocato »

Hello Community,

i wanted to ask if you know anything about the implementation of thermal and electrical contact resistances.
I couldnt derive it from the existing test .sif files, so thats why im asking.

Cheers,
Dominik

Thank you for your reply!
This would eliminate the thermal resistance problem.

But is there also an option or flag for Electrical Contact Resistance?

Cheers,
