i want to use finite element modeling to consider mechanical deformation of a micro-cantilever under surface stress(adsorption-induced stress)on one side of a three-dimensional cantilever.

Someone told me in order to simulate a surface stress,the cantilever top surface can be loaded with an initial stress value in all directions, which is accomplished in ANSYS using the “istress” command.

However, i'm new to ANSYS and hence do not understand how to achieve this purpose. Can anyone please teach me/show me or even give me a simple example?

I would be grateful for your help^^
