Detailed Description

ContactThermal class.

Thermal Contacts may exist between two IPieceThermal objects (e.g. between two balls or between a ball and a wall). They are formed and broken automatically during the course of a simulation.

The behavior of a material is simulated by associating a constitutive model with each thermal contact.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:
