Moems Fabry Perot Pressure sensor

hi..
i am trying to simulate the structure something like attached figure. what i need to do is apply sinusoidal excitation (of resonant frequency of whole structure ) at the base (lower layer) of the structure..and see the deflection of free end of cantilever beam..which i m sensing by reflected light, from the structure..laser light is incident upon this end from the top..
my doubts are how do i apply sinusoidal excitation at the lower layer ie base.??
i read few other related threads sir but those didn't help me..
please help me???
thank you in advance..

Hi,

you didn't tell us, which application mode you are using and what the frequency range is. In general you can apply a potential, port, or terminal BC to the plate and then run a frequency domain study in the frequency range of interest.

Cheers
Edgar

thank you sir for so quick reply..
sir i have to give the excitation frequency as resonant frequency of the structure..that i need to find out from eigen frequency analysis and i am applying sinusoidal voltage of same frequency with a potential in pzd module through piezoelectric material of same size as base, placed below to it..i m getting error like last time is not converged..what i can do ??? and also how to add viscous characteristics of surrounding air.??
