I have a simple 3D fan structure and i wish to apply a boundary load to all 4 edges of each fan arm and see the resulting von Mises stress in the whole structure. The problem is i cant seem to find any boundary conditions that will allow this, or produce accurate results. Previously this was a 2D structure and the same test was successfully done using the symmetry boundary condition through the middle of the fan. This does not work for the 3D model. Any ideas?

Please find attached the 3D structure COMSOL file.

Many Thanks!
