I have a plastic plate with a silver circuit printed on it., Almost everything is scaled inches.

However the thickness of the silver circuit it 100 nanometers.

Five volts dc in silver circuit.

This is impossble to mesh in 3D because of the extreme aspect ratio.

I tried putting it 2D with 2D elements on the 3D plate mesh, but can't do it as it stands.

Also in a 3D model I cannot specify the thickness of the 2D elements.

Also would appreciate other advice how to go about joule heating with this kind of a circuit.

Normally just using the joule heating options would do the trick, but I am not sure about this one.

Use shells (available under Structural Mechanics) instead of 2D or 3D solids.

Thanks and I will retry again. Two years ago I had the same problem.

Thanks, this will prevent me from banging my head on the desk.
