In section 5.1.4.1 of the 9.0 Contact Guide, TCC is defined as the thermal contact conductance coefficient, having units of HEAT/(TIME * TEMPERATURE * AREA) for force-based node-to-surface contact, or units of HEAT/(TIME * TEMPERATURE) for the traction-based model. This seems to be inconsistant with the definition of force based and traction based.

The units are backwards. It should read: "...having units of HEAT/(TIME * TEMPERATURE ) for force-based node-to-surface contact, or units of HEAT/(TIME * TEMPERATURE* AREA) for the traction-based model." Also, for ECC definition in Section 5.2.1.2: in the note for ECC, change: "... ECC has units of (electric conductivity)(LENGTH) or the capacitance." It has been corrected at 10.0. |
