Can't export deformed geometry using electromechanics

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi All,
I’m simulating the electrostatic force in 2D parallel plate capacitor, and there would be some expected deformation of the two electrodes.The four edges of the plates are fixed constraint. I included moving mesh and geometric nonlinearity in my model, the Moving Mesh is at the top of the physics list. However the deformed geometry I exported from the deformed configuration is the original geometry, not the deformed one. It seems there are some similar problems after 4.3, I would appreciate it if anyone could offer help. By the way in prescribed mesh displacement I could only set the inner boundaries between plates and air to be u and v, I couldn’t select the outside boundaries of the plates cause moving mesh could only be applied to the air inside.
Thanks in advance;)
