Question from Becca:  Do you have a webinar/examples for the MechT example?

Answer:  Picture two walls and a beam in between.  There is initially a gap but then that gap goes away with thermal.

Question from Becca:   Can you force-refine the contact faces and only the contact faces?

Answer:  Yes, you can specify nodes along an edge and refine face to face for a typical contact.

Question from Rajesh:  Can we set ambient temperate as elevated say 75C and run the analysis?  I believe default would be room temp 23C .

Answer:  You can but i believe that would only effect a thermal analysis.  The properties are not temperature specific with the exception of using a MechT example where thermal expansion eventually turns into a structure simulation.

At 55:35, the mentioned plot is a "real-time tracking of time spent in solving", but not a convergence plot, isn't it? Confused.
