(d) Applying Boundary Conditions, Solving for and Display-
ing Solutions

 Next, the boundary conditions of the four clamped edges
can be applied. These will be done, one at a time, starting
from the top edge.
 Select Analysis Settings under Modal. Select the Sup-
ports tab on the upper menu bar with Fixed Support
option, then select Edge icon (box with arrow and green
edge). Move the cursor to the top edge and click at it, the
edge will become green. Click Apply button next to the
Geometry button under the Details of “Fixed Support”
window.

 Repeat the same process to apply clamped-supported
boundary condition along the other three edges.
 The problem is now ready to solve for solution. Right click
the Solution item and under Modal and select the Solve
tab.
 Click the Solution item, the Deformation tab will appear
on the lower menu bar. Click on this Deformation tab and
Select the Total option, the Total Deformation item will
