hi all

I am trying to simulate the cantilever without any symmetry condition as i would like to later modify the structure by adding a few more elements.I am getting the following error

anyone knows why this is happening.
Exception:

Messages:

Hi

looks like your variable V (normally the voltage in COMSOL) is not defined correctly or there are some missing BC's

Good luck
