To model three very thin layers bonded together in Ansys, users can utilize laminated shell elements, which are suitable for such configurations. Selecting shell elements in Ansys Workbench is straightforward, especially if the model consists of flat surfaces, as they will automatically mesh into shells. Given the small film thickness of approximately 0.0011 inches, it's crucial to consider the relevant effects in the simulation, such as bending or deformation. New users are encouraged to seek tutorials for guidance on shell element selection and modeling techniques. Properly addressing these factors will enhance the accuracy of the simulation results.
