I am trying to examine the stress distribution in a SiO2 film coated on a thick Si sample with a small Al bump on it, all heated to 600 K. I thought I built the model correctly, but a message that said relative error is greater than relative tolerance popped up after the computation. So I adjusted the relative tolerance value, and the result came out, but the resulting model seemed to be rotated around the axis a bit. I guess this is a problem concerning boundary condiciton or initial values. Can anyone tell me what may be the problem with my model. And also, I want to see the results displayed with arrows, not just color bands; do anyone know how to do this?

I would also appreciate if anyone of you explain how to build such thermal expansion model thoroughly.

Thank you.

Hi

that error message alo comes often out when one has not defined enough BC to get a unique solution

Good luck
