Smile Boundary Condition for Two Contacting Plates

Hi,

I have created two plates in ccm+and imprinted both. From both plates I created one region. In "contacts" I have: Plate1/Plate2

So I got two regions now. And I have one boundary named: Upper Part of Plate 1 and one Boundary named: Lower Part of Plate 2

Both Boundary conditions are in contact, so heat is flowing from one plate to the other.
I am wondering which boundary condition I have to set up under "thermal sepcification": I could chose "Environment, Temperature, Adiabatic, Convection, Heat Flux and Heat Source"

Actually there is only heat conduction, so I should chose "Environment" ? But then I can specify a heat transfer coefficient, although there is no convection?

Can someone help?

Thank you!

Hey,

i've already answered this question here:
Solid/Fluid Interface heat transfer

and here:
