Hi,
In my current FEM model, the substrate is modeled as a solid block, and another layer is created on top region of the substrate to define a separate body with a thickness of 5–25 µm. The two bodies are geometrically in contact and form a common interface.In SpaceClaim, I see the options “Merge” and “Share'' Topology.
My question is:For a thermo-mechanical simulation of a silver layer bonded to a substrate under thermal cycling, what is the correct approach between Merge and Share Topology, and how does each option affect:the physical representation of the silver–substrate interface,?
