Hi everyone!
Let's picture three objects densely pressed to each other. First object is heated, the other one is cooled, and the third is in between. Certain temperatures cause a gap between objects because of thermomechanical expansion and different properties of materials. How to make the progam see that three objects pressed to each other are not a single object? How to make in the program a microscopic gap between objects without geometrical modeling?

Hi Mikhail,
this is called thermal contact. See the two downloadable examples:

www.comsol.com/model/thermal-contact-resistance-between-an-electronic-package-and-a-heat-sink-14659

kind regards,
Niklas

In the example (www.comsol.com/model/simulation-of-multiphysics-contact-in-a-power-conductor-4119), it is written that:

HEAT TRANSFER IN SOLIDS
Pair Thermal Contact 1
1 On the Physics toolbar, click Pairs and choose Pair Thermal Contact.
2 In the Pair Thermal Contact settings window, locate the Pair Selection section.
3 In the Pairs list, select Contact Pair 1.
4 Locate the Contact Surface Properties section. From the p list, choose Contact
pressure (solid/cnt1)...

but section Pairs does not contain Pair Thermal Contact ... I have 4.3a version... Where can I find Pair Thermal Contact?
