Heat Generation in a Disc Brake with 4 brake pad

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm newbie on simulations, I would like to know how do I resolve some issues I'm finding my style. I want to make a simulation of heat transfer with four brake pads on a disk. I took the model that has the library and imported the geometry of the ventilated disc I'm using, and the brake pads.

I tried to repeat all the data from the model library in my model. However some items went wrong.
1st Error: swepts not work, ask to set something that I do not know what is. So I created a mesh without them.

Error 2: The model library has global equations, however in my model I can not add these equations. Not appear in the list.

I tried to simulate without these items. I let simulating 24 hours and still had not finished. Once the simulation has ended, the results were not expected, the model was the same temperature in all parts. So I wonder, what's wrong with this model?
