Modeling 3 Thin Layers Bonded Together with Ansys

[deveshp1]

I am new to Ansys and I wish to model 3 very thin layers of different materials bonded to each other. Can someone please reply back.

Thank you

Laminated shell elements. I guess there's an easy material you can define in WB for that.

I am new to ansys so this question may sound silly.. How do we select shell element in Ansys work bench? do u have any link to a tutorial?

My film thickness is very small approx. 0.0011 inch composed of 3 layers.

I hardly have any experience with ANSYS either. But I'm sure if your model is made from flat surfaces (not solids) then it'll automatically mesh into shells.

However, with all that thinness, make sure you'll be modelling the relevant effects. Is it bending, pretensioned, deforming a lot?
