Hi all,
I'm trying to model the deformations induced by different CTE and different process temperatures in a step soldering process. I looked at the multilyer demo but maybe I'm doing something wrong, let me explain what I'm trying to do:
I have a component (low CTE) that is soldered on a base (high CTE) at 500 degC, then brought to 80 degC where another component is attached on top. I used thermal expansion in solid mechanics with a strain reference temperature of 500 deg C and a target temp of 80 degC for the first step. Then to check the model I was trying to add, as a second step, a thermal expansion from 80 degC to 500 degC, expecting as a result the undeformed, stress free model I started width. This doesn't seem to work and I only get deformation like the first step never happened.
Maybe I'm missing a way to transfer displacement too between the simulation steps?
