I believe he is doing a finite element analysis of BGA solder joints and
wants to include the solder mask geometry to improve the accuracy of his
model since it will affect the solder joint shape and therefore the
reliability.

Hi Brian,
All of these parameters can vary substantially. I would suggest either
looking at an number of cross-sections and averaging them, ot simply taking
one cross-section and model it. Question: What is the point of trying to
model SMD SJs? We certainly know their effects on SJ reliability.
