Problems with Contact resistance and Open boundaries

Hi All,

I am attempting to make a simple model of a laser heating a material and then having heat flow across the boundary to a second material.

However I am having several problems.

1) I cannot figure out how to create thermal contact resistance (I know it has something to do with pairs of some kind but I cannot discover how to create these pairs.

2) I modeled the laser as an oblique cone however when I ran the simulation the cone is being heated while everything else is not, despite having open boundaries.

If anyone can offer suggestions or look at my model I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

John Haase
