CHT Brake Analysis SetUp Problem

Hello Everyone,

i would need some help for my CHT Simulation for a brake system. Short Analysis Task: Air Flow around a rotating brake disc and heat input to the disc.

My project: SimScale

At the beginning I struggled a lot even to set it up due to a lot of errors like “No contacts exists as part of the simulation …”.

-my idea was to create a rotating zone around the disc to create the rotation in advanced concepts
-create the flow region around the rotating zone

For the heat input or the analysis object i need a solid for the brake disc inside - right?

Just for testing i set up as well a convective heat transfer!!

Can anyone help me with the set up or give me some advice?

Best regards
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

As I mentioned in the chat, there’s currently an issue with contact detection in some geometries (see this forum post). The issue should be fixed in the coming week!

Cheers,
Ricardo
