HI all,
I am trying to model the MEMS cantilever beam using getDP tool. I face the following doubts:
1) How and where to specify the point load (applied only at the free endpoint) in the problem? This is neither a Dirichlet boundary condition nor a Neumann boundary condition.
2) While forming the weak form after integration by parts, if the boundary term is not vanishing at a particular boundary, how and where to specify it in the .pro file?
3) Assuming that the beam deflection is only in the y-direction as per the differential equation (thus the unknown is uy), how to specify the value of displacement ux in PostProcessing segment? z axis component (uz) is zero as this is a 2D problem. But what about the x component, ux?
The .pro file is attached for reference. The differential equation and details are commented in the file. Kindly help.
Regards,
Raghu
