you will persist in making me think, eh ?

I think your compound model is missing a layer
the source 'q' with it's dimensions - fine
'Layer 1' would be the 1st grease layer
'Layer 2' would be the Copper Cap shim proper

-> a 'Layer 3' is needed for the 2ed grease layer between the Copper Cap and the hsf (or wb), no ?

some questions come to mind re the Compound Channel model . .
as I understand the theory/practice: a thermal offset will be present between 2 discontinous pieces even if swedged under 'perfect' conditions
- perhaps/hopefully small, but still existant

what am I missing here ?
I can see where the 2ed thermal offset would be incrementally smaller than the first due to the slightly lower frontside temp
(so my 2*x is not strictly true, no problem)
