Component-based simulation workflows can increase the agility of the design process by streamlining adaptation of new simulation methods. Here, we present one such workflow for parallel unstructured mesh-based simulations and demonstrate its usefulness in the thermomechanical analysis of an array of solder joints used in microelectronics fabrication. We automate the simulation process from problem specification to the solution of the underlying PDEs, including problem setup, domain definition, and mesh generation. We establish the utility of the proposed approach by demonstrating that qualitatively different stress concentrations are seen in solder joints near the center of such an array and a solder joint seen at the edge of the same array.
