Simulate stress when bending thin layers to a ring

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I've just started to use comsol and right now I'm stuck on a problem. I want to simulate the resulting stress in a thin multi layer structure (polyimid - platinum - polyimid) when I bend the structure into the form of ring. Is there a feature which allows me to simulate the bending of a structure into a ring? I've already tried to use different boundary loads (Total Force, Pressure) and Prescribed Displacement, but this didn't create the shape I need.

Thanks for your help.
Marcel
