[mems-modsim] ANSYS Electrostatic-Structural Coupled Analysis

[Isabelle PF Harouche]

	Hello Shishir,

	I am a FEMLAB user and I've been applying the Arbitrary 
Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) algorithm for electrostatic-structural 
coupling.  I can suggest you a very good paper which introduces this 
subject well.  In case you find this might work for you, I'll send you 
some extra info.  I am a beginner in FEA modeling and I'm "learning as 
I go"...

Gadala, M.S., M.R. Movahhedy, and J. Wang (2002).  On the mesh motion 
for ALE modeling of metal forming process. in Finite Elements in 
Analysis and Design, vol. 38 pp 435-459.

	I hope that helps.

	- Isabelle
