I&#039;m recently simulating a bending process of a very thin silicon thin film into a spherical geometry. I have a glass holder with a concave cavity (with a specific curvature radius) on which the silicon thin film is placed, and a silicon thin film on top of the holder as shown in the image below. I would like to apply a force, a pressure or a displacement on the thin film. Then I would like to analyse the strain on the thin film after the deformation.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;ve tried several setting up but they didn&#039;t work. I&#039;m planning to use a 1\/4 symetric module for the simulation. Could someone please let me how I can achieve the deformation into a perfect spherical geometry for the thin films? I really appreciate it. Many thanks in advance!<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Shuo<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/275\/A9UFDX33H8W4.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/275\/A9UFDX33H8W4.png\" alt=\"Prototype.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-161818","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-bending","topic-tag-stress-strain"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["1648"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["242103"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["161818"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","223455"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["24"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["190583"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["190583"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-09-20 03:02:29"]},"test":"22449024student-uwa-edu-au"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/161818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/161818\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
