Guys, need some suggestion.

I am doing temperature-current coupled simulation for the punch-die-sample assembly of spark plasma sintering apparatus.

Earlier I did the simulation for monolithic material sample like Cu, Al etc which were in the millimeter range.
Now I need to do it for a laminate structure composed of multiple layers of Fe ribbons coated with Ni/Cu.

The ribbons are about 20 um in thickness whereas the coating is 1-2 um.
I have made composite layups with conventional shell layups for this sample.

My concern is the thickness of the ribbon and coating as they are in the micrometer range. Should I use something else?

I am kind of confused. Need some suggestions. Thanks in advance.
