Create a perfect contact thermal coupling

1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Thermal Coupling .

2. In the Thermal Coupling dialog box, select Perfect Contact from the Type list.

3. Select a Primary Region to represent one of the two perfect contact surfaces. Typically this would be the smaller surface of the two.

4. Select a Secondary Region to represent the other surface.

5. Select the Overlap Projection Direction, or clear the Only Connect Overlapping Elements check box if your geometry requires it.
