I understand that you want to add the predefined initial strain to your cantilever beam. To apply the predefined initial strain, you can directly modify the nodal coordinates of the mesh. For example, if you want to apply an initial strain of ε to the beam, you can displace the corresponding co-ordinates using:
structuralBC
- Refer to this documetation link to apply displacement boundary conditions: https://www.mathworks.com/help/pde/ug/pde.structuralmodel.structuralbc.html#d126e128677
Also, define the load that will be applied at the free end of the beam. This can be done by specifying the magnitude and direction of the load. For example, you can apply a load using:
structuralBoundaryLoad
- Refer to this documetation link to apply boundary load: https://www.mathworks.com/help/pde/ug/pde.structuralmodel.structuralboundaryload.html
