    Hi,
          I am from India.I am doing project in bent beam electrothermal actuator , in my project i am using sugar tools to optimize the actuator.In sugar i am facing some problem with my design, basically i am using the following code

    use "mumps.net"
    use "stdlib.net"
    Vsrc {node "A", node "D"; V = 5}
    eground {node "D"}
    anchor {node "A", p1; l=15u, w=15u, oz=135}
    beam2de {node "A", node "b", p1;l=100u, w=5u, h=2u, R=100,oz=-45}
    beam2de {node "b" ,node "D",p1; l=100u,w=5u,h=2u,R=100,oz=-135}
    beam2de {node "b" ,node "c",p1; l=100u,w=5u,h=2u,R=100,oz=0}
    anchor {node "D", p1; l=15u, w=15u, oz=-135}

    To see the tip deflection based on the joule heating effect because of the applied voltage.But i don't see any defelection or displacement of the tip, it is a problem with my code or some bug?

    your help will be very useful for my project.

      You need to use a gap element to realize a force on the tip. Check out the example in the
      demo subdirectory.
