Using pre-deformed mesh in CoSolve (Coventor)

Hi Maryna,
I' m a student of Polithecnic of  Turin and I had your same problem with
Coventor.
I think that is not possibile in a direct way to use a deformed mesh, but
maybe there is a solution.
My idea is the following:
MemPackage (I never used this solver!) should give as output the stress.
If I' m right, you can see this stress in the Visualizer.
Also in the Visualizer with the command "extract a polyline" you can, for
example, see the variation of the stress components through your model.
So, you can have a precise idea of the stress gradient in your solid model.
On the other hands, in using CosolveEM you have to set separately MemMech
and MemElectro.
In the volume BC of MemMech there is the option "stress gradient".
So you can give as input the stress gradient you found in MemPackage in
order to obtain a deformed model.
When you perform the Cosolve analysis the solver should take in account this
stress.
Anyway, I want to be sincere: I never tried such an analysis but it' s the
only way that I have in mind.
Unfortunately MemMech don't have the option "Use deformed mesh" as other
solvers have.
You can also try to ask the techincal support, but it' s not sure that they
answer... This is my experience...
