These Abaqus input decks contain Fortran subroutines to impose electrostatic forces on the undersides of the beams. The decks have been verified to work on Abaqus 5.7. Customizing the decks should mainly consist of changing the length of the beams in the first section where element nodes are defined. Make sure you change ALL the instances of beam lengths. (Unfortunately, there is no concept of variables in Abaqus.)
