COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Input the “Subdomain Settings” of the Material
Note: These are material properties the authors used for PDMS; however, ν = 0.499 was used instead of ν = 0.5 to avoid crashing COMSOL
![Page 12: Comsol Multiphysics](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042504/55cf9c2e550346d033a8ed83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Input the “Boundary Settings” (e.g., load)
Note: 20 nN distributed over a face with Diameter = 2 µm is ~6.4x103 N/m2

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Create a “Mesh”
Note: The type and size of mesh can influence the final solution. Overall, higher mesh sizes are better, but increase solution times.

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • More Meshed “Elements” = Longer “Solution Time”
Note: More Meshed Elements = Higher Accuracy; Balance Time vs. Accuracy

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Input the “Plot Parameters” (under “Postprocessing”)
Note: The initial “Plot Parameters” are rarely ideal.

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Input the “Plot Parameters” (under “Postprocessing”)
The deformed shape can be plotted. Note: The scale factor can be set to “1” to see the ‘exact’ deformation.

COMSOL Multiphysics v3.5 Demonstration • Input the “Plot Parameters” (under “Postprocessing”)
The number of ‘Slices’ can be increased. A variety of properties can be plotted. Note: Too many ‘Slices’ can cause COMSOL to crash.
