Bistable beam simulation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I wanted to ask that is it possible to model the behavior of electrostatically actuated bistable beam (curved beam) in COMSOl. As I tried to do it using electromechanical physics but unable to find out snap-through and pull-in instability.


Regards,
Vasudha
