I cannot find the "non-contact" contact type in fusion 360

I am trying to simulate a parabolic dish for a test, I set the faces pointing towards the wanted object at a temp of 200c (With the radiation attribute).

It seems that I cannot do a "non-contact" simulation in the "Thermal" study as is noted in some documentation.

I plan to use the "thermal stress" study instead, I went into "Manual contacts" and everything seems to be there except the "non-contact" attribute.

I hope it is possible to even simulate this kind of heat concentrator, if anyone has a better way of achieving such a simulation result please tell me.

Thank you to anyone to takes time to answer my question 🙂
