Hi All,

I just came into a new position picking up analysis work some one else had started using ANSYS. I have a couple of questions.

(1) What is a good resource for thermal conductance values for bolted aluminum plates? I'm trying to validate a value used and I can't easily find any conductance versus pressure curves.

(2) Is there a quick way in ANSYS to make all contacts of one type (say between aluminum/aluminum) one value (or a set of values based on a parameter like area)?
