Interesting topic. However, in the case of leaf spring analyses, it's especially important to compare the solution with the analytical value. These structures are prone to over stiffening in FEM due to inaccurate boundary conditions and contact behavior.

Is there a reason you chose the N-mesh over the G-mesh? Joko's video stated that the N-Mesh wouldn't work but that may have been because he made the video in version 19.1. This was an interesting example of FEM. Thank you!
