Connections Section

The Connections section provides commands for defining interactions between components in your assembly.

Contact Detection
Identifies contacting surfaces and defines the thermal-conductance behavior between them.
See Defining Surface-Based Contact or Bonded Contact by Detecting Contact.
Surface-based Contact
Defines thermal conductance for surface pairs that you specify.
See Defining Surface-Based Contact or Bonded Contact by Selecting Surfaces.

Flyout for Finding Disconnected Bodies

Show Disconnected Bodies
Highlights bodies that do not have any connections.
See Locating Disconnected Bodies.
Show Contacting Bodies
Highlights regions in a model where bodies come into contact but do not intersect or overlap.
See Locating Contacting Bodies.
Show Intersecting Bodies
Highlights regions in a model where bodies intersect or overlap.
See Locating Intersecting Bodies.
