Dear all,
I am dealing with multilayer structures, and I have a small doubt: modelling a multilayer, do I get the same results (and of course the same physical meaning) using:
1) different rectangles (i.e. in Geometry having Rectangle 1, Rectangle 2 etc.)
2) use only one "Rectangle" but defining the thickness of the layers in "Layers" (in the Rectangle window)
Or, to be more precise, is the procedure 2) more suitable when you have to model a multilayer with a large number of layers (so it's faster than to create multiple rectangles)? But, of course, you have the same model and results, is it correct?
Regarding this issue, why does in the model "layered plate" (in the Model Library) it is used the option 1) instead of 2) ?
Thank you very much
Fabio
