class GapConductance:
    """The GapConductance object specifies conductive heat transfer between closely adjacent
    (or contacting) surfaces.

    This object can be accessed by:

    .. code-block:: python

        import material
        mdb.models[name].materials[name].gapConductance
        import odbMaterial
        session.odbs[name].materials[name].gapConductance

    The table data for this object are:
        - Gap Conductance or Cohesive Separation.
        - Gap Clearance, Gap Pressure (if optional parameter pressureDependency is used), or Closure, c (for coupled temperature-displacement gasket elements).
        - Average Temperature if the data depend on temperature.
        - Mass Flow Rate per unit area if the data depend on the average mass flow rate.
        - Value of the first field variable if the data depend on field variables.
        - Value of the second field variable.
        - Etc.

    The corresponding analysis keywords are:
