Hi Sharmita, the issue is quite simple and there are many ways, how to do it in Ansys. You simply create 2 areas, one smaller (60 x 60) and one overlaping bigger. There is a function of "overlap" or something like that in "operate" menu. THat would create new area 100x 100 um with cut of hole of 60 x 60 but that would be glued to the internal square. After that you define a multilayer under real constant and there would be either two layer inside or two layers outside, choise is yours. If you are interested, send me an email and I will send you a script file. That is trivial.

Briefcase ] HI all, I am modeling a pressure sensor in Ansys. The dimension of the membrane is 100*100 micrometer. I have used shell 93 for meshing. Now I need to model this membrane by adding a layer of another material in an area of 60*60 micrometer on top. I have tried many Boolean operations in Ansys but unsuccessfully. Can somebody suggest a way of doing this? Thanking you in anticipation Regards Sharmita __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
