Hello everyone
Does anyone know how to apply the stress gradient of thin film in ANSYS analysis
for bilayer cantilever ?
I want to analysis the multilayer beam deflection resulted from residual stress
gradient along thickness. ( this stress was originated from film deposition
process.)
But, i can't find the method to apply stress gradient in ansys.
Could you let me know the detail steps, element type, and so on ?
