Identity and contact pair

Hi,
I am trying to build a model in which it is not contacting in geometry but continuous in physical quantity between two surfaces in 3D model. So I use the "form an assembly" to build the model and define a identity pair between the two surfaces mentioned before. At the same time, I define a continuity boundary condition under the physics node and use the 'copy face' to establish the mesh for this identity pair.
However, I don't get the right result, for the voltage in the object is not gradiently distributes, which means that this identity condition setting is not correct.
But when I use the contact pair instead, I get the result which I need.
Thank you!

Hi
strange, as "contact pairs are for setting up contact physics for "solid" in caontact, identity pairs with continuity is the "natural default"

Good luck
