Hi everyone,
I followed the model name "electrostatically actuated cantilever" in model library to build my own model - an RF MEMS shunt switch with fixed fixed beam. In the "electrostatically actuated cantilever" model, the author finds the pull in voltage by basing on the divergence of the solution. I did not quite satisfy with that since I am also interested in the final geometry when the beam lands on the bottom electrode. I worked for weeks, using contact pair, hoping that the contact will help the beam stop when pull-in happens, longing for a converge solution of that electromechanical problem but did not succeeded.
Is it possible to carry on that way, or should I give up?
