Solid Mechanics
In the Physics toolbar, click Electrostatics (es)
(not the upper part where this icon shows but the lower part where the text “Electrostatics” shows with a downward facing black triangle icon) and choose Solid Mechanics (solid)
.
Thermal Expansion 1
1
In the Model Builder window, expand Solid Mechanics (solid)
, and then click Linear Elastic Material 1
. In the Physics toolbar click Attributes
and choose Thermal Expansion
.
The model temperature should be set to the previously defined room temperature parameter, T0.
2
In the Settings window for Thermal Expansion locate the Model Inputs section to choose the “User defined” option for the Temperature list. In the
T
text field, enter
T0
.
The reference temperature indicates the temperature at which the structure had no thermal strains. In this case, we set it to the previously defined parameter,
Tref
.
Tref
represents the temperature at which the silicon die was bonded to the metal carrier plate.

Choose the “User defined” option for the Volume reference temperature list. In the
T
