Hi all,
I am relatively new to the world of ANSYS and am having trouble modeling an Si/SiO2 bimorph. I would like to model a beam where there is a bottom layer of silicon, with a thin layer of SiO2 on top of it. I would then like to define a compressive stress state for the top layer of SiO2 and see the resulting deflection of the entire bimorph.
I dont know what element type to choose, I have tried plane 13, beam 4, solid 187, and others... I have no idea which is correct.
Additionally, I do not know how to input a stress state and see deflection. As far as I know, the stress is an output of the solution, but I want it to be a given condition.
I am a beginner in every sense of the word, so any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
