how to add a 10000 pa pressure on an stl file

Hey,

I found this code online and I was wondering how would it change to show a 10000 Pa pressure on it. I wanted to create a finite element method but I keep getting the following error:

Warning: Error creating or updating Patch

Error in value of property FaceVertexCData

Number of colors must equal number of vertices

%code

model = createpde;

importGeometry(model,'cube.stl');

pdegplot(model,'FaceLabel','off', 'FaceAlpha',0)

p1= 10000

Rs = solve(smodel);

pdeplot3D(smodel, 'ColorMapData', Rs.VonMisesStress,'Deformation', Rs.Displacement, 'DeformationScaleFactor' )

I wanted to be something like the attached image but for this problem but all is printed is the STL file.

Take a look at some of the examples here. I would think the simplest one that is somewhat similar is the Defelection Analysis of Bracket.

I'm no expert here, but I think you need to specify model using createpde('structural','static-solid')

You then likely need to

• define your material properties
• Set your boundary conditions
• specify where the load is applied
• create your FEA mesh
• then solve
