Thermal Joint

The new Thermal Joint helps you simulate the heat transfer from one face to another by specifying thermal resistance.

You can transfer heat from one face (or assembly of faces) to another face (or assembly of faces) without modeling the conductor itself. Specify the Heat Transfer Parameter either as the Integral Heat Transfer Coefficient (W/K), or the Thermal resistance (K/W).
