Solid surface deformation due to vertical orientation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello all,

I am totally new to Comsol and thus I am apologizing in advance if this question is very trivial or if it has been already answered to another thread. Any help regarding how I can (if I can) simulate the following problem using Comsol would be highly appreciated:

Imagine that I have a solid surface 17m long, 5m wide and 1m thick which lies at horizontal position. This surface is composed of different materials (aluminium, carbon fibre etc.-probably these have to be designed as other smaller surfaces or curves on the initial surface). What I want to study is how the original geometry of the whole surface changes when its moved to vertical position due to Geometric Nonlinearity (deformations on these smaller surfaces).

Thank you very much in advance!
