Im trying to model 3 axisymmetric discs one above the other. The one in the middle is rotating and the other 2 discs are stationary. A pressure of 1 MPa is compressing the discs and the middle disc is rotating with an w=500 rpm. If my objective is to simulate the transient heating of the discs due to friction. What is the best aproach to introduce the heat in the contact interfaces (the heat must be proportional to the contact pressure). Im able to simulate the structural problem, but in ther thermal coupled field part im having troubles. Pls help me. Thanks!

I upload here the model i have. Thanks.
