I am doing analysis on a flexible printed circuit board. I need to bend a flat flexible PCB in the shape of a cylinder by applying loads in order to find out induced stresses due to bending. As my displacements loads are large, I am experiencing an unwanted displacement along the width of my PCB. Images are attached. How can I proceed forward?
