Calculating Electrostatic Force without MEMS Module

$

I've been having difficulty coupling the Electrostatics/Structural Mechanics/Moving Mesh applications. I was previously given advice to look up the MEMS 3D Cantilever Beam model to help me understand this.

However, I do not have the MEMS Module application in my COMSOL 3.5a license, so I am currently unable to compile a 3D Cantilever Beam. The problem I have is that my Basic Electrostatics application doesn't have a force tab, while the MEMS Module Electrostatics app. does, and this electrostatic force is critical in solving the model.

I was told by COMSOL support desk that I can mimic the MEMS 3D Cantilever beam with my basic COMSOL Multiphysics package by properly setting similar boundary and subdomain settings.

How do I define these boundary/subdomain settings without a force tab in my Electrostatics application?

How can I define an electrostatic force and implement it without the MEMS Module?

Basically, how can I construct the 3D Cantilever beam without the MEMS Module?

Thank you for your time and help.
