Comb Drive

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello Everyone!!

I am trying to simulate a 3d Comb drive structure which will have some displacement when voltage applied to the combs, however its giving errors as I cant apply "Fixed Constraint" to any of the surface. I need to solve the problem within a very short time. Please suggest me some solution or refer me some paper or similar model which can help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance
Debarati

You forgot to define a "Linear Elastic Material" and than you can apply "Fixed Constaint"
