Materials used in the problem are defined through the Solid Material window.
In this example, the solid properties have to be assigned to both volumes. Solid properties have to be fixed as shown in Figure 80.

SSContact boundaries identify a contact with continuity of the corresponding field between two solid domains. We will use this boundary to define the continuity of the temperature field through the two central (contact) surfaces. The SSContact boundary can be selected in the Contact window (select Data>Boundaries>Contact).

In order to define this contact it is necessary to assign the contact to the contact surfaces of the two boxes. Press Assign button and define as 'Side A' of the two surfaces and as 'Side B' the other. In order to be able to select one of the two contact surfaces, it is necessary to create two different layers each one containing the box volume and the its lower entities. Please refer to the GiD User Manual for further information about how to work with layers.
