Hi,
I just want to know if there's a punctual difference between using the Physics in question when performing a 2D cantilever beam analysis for a CNT switch, which I'm modeling. I mean, which of the two Physics would suit better for solving my problem? I already used Solid Mechanics for characterizing the switch at stationary mode, but now I want to incorporate time-dependant analysis, so I was thinking about remaking the model but using Beam Physics, just for curiosity; so If anyone of you can summarize the pros and cons of each Physic, I'd be very grateful.
Regards
