I was watching one of the webinars and was trying to build a model similar to the following: www.comsol.com/video/thermal-structure-interaction-mems-energy-harvester
I have set up the model but I can't find the pair thermal contact in the heat transfer physics. I did form assembly. I am also running 4.3b. from the video it seems that its important to do this as the solutions will be used from both the solid mechanics and heat transfer. Can any one help on this? has anyone doen something similar in coupling heat transfer and solis mechanics physics? Thanks.

Your license probably does not include the optional Heat Transfer Module. To check on that, go to the Options>Licenses menu (in v4.3b) or File>Licensed and Used Products menu (in 4.4).
Best,
