Hi!<\/p>\n

My goal is to perform a combined Steady-State Thermal and Static Structural analysis of a geometry to evaluate the thermal load in combination with the built-in residual stress of the thin layers compising the solid. As in many videos, I’m trying to perform a thermal simulation to import the thermal load into the Static Structural tool and apply it to the same body, deformed because of the built-in residual stress. <\/p>\n

I am considering a simplified shell geometry: a 2mm x 2mm squadre with an inner and smaller one to act as an heater. I am using a shell since the thickness of the involved layers is within the 150-500 nm range. I specified the thickness of the layers after inserting the “Layered Section” and I set the analysis (attached screenshots), but I keep getting the error: <\/p>\n

“An error occurred inside the SOLVER module: The allowed maximum number of layers is exceeded.”  <\/p>\n

Even in case of two sole layers. The same happens in case of Transient Thermal. Is there any way to perform the thermal analysis of bodies realized by layered sections? <\/p>\n

If not, how to perform a combined thermal-structural analysis of thin film structures?<\/p>\n
