      Joint elements does not have temperature degree of freedom. So there is no heat transfer across revolute joint. Since the joint elements do not support thermal degrees of freedom, users need to use contacts instead of joints for such analysis. So in thermal analysis replace all joints with contacts. In Workbench project schematic, share geometry but not model cells between Thermal and static structural analysis. And link solution of thermal to setup of static structural. Thermal results will be imported as a load in Static structural.
