The following figure shows the schematic in Workbench.
The PCB geometry is created in SpaceClaim. The meshed geometry and material assignments for each part/body are saved to a .mechdat file. Importing this file into Workbench creates a Mechanical Model system.
A Steady-State Thermal system and a downstream Static Structural system are linked to share the Engineering Data, Geometry, and Model cell data of the Mechanical Model system. The solution cell of the Steady-State Thermal system is linked to the setup cell of the Static Structural system so that the results of the thermal analysis are used to calculate the thermal stresses and strains.
The following figure shows the geometry displayed in the Mechanical Application.
