Resonant Frequency for comb accelerometer

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi All,
i really hope that i can get input from you all.
I modelling a capacitive comb accelerometer. See picture attached.
I have used:
Solid Mechanic - to get displacement
Electrostatic- to get capacitance
To get the model moving i have put -a*solid.rho at the body load in Solid Mechanics

to get the resonant freq, i used eigenfrequency study and the simulation value that i've got is different from the calculation .
I used the equation f = (sqrt(k/M)/2*pi to get my calculation value of resonant.
is the any thing in the eigenfrequency that i need to set up ?

PLEASE HELP
