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
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.

eground {node "D"}

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