Bushing Joint simulation in Ansys W14

[Laurry]

Is it possible to simulate a bushing joint between to parts
that would also conduct heat from one part to another?

 

[Mech_Engineer]

It's possible to set up a coupled physics analysis in which the structural analysis has a cylindrical support condition, and the thermal portion has a thermal contact condition which conducts heat.

Different physics regimes do not have to have the same number or type of contact conditions for a coupled physics analysis.

Thank you. I solved this by adding command to the contact

keyopt, cid,1, 2

so that the contact only has temperature DOF.

so bonded contact with only temp dof and bushing joint did the job.
