Hi,

Have a look at the following example -

https://www.mathworks.com/help/pde/examples/deflection-analysis-of-a-bracket.html

In this example, a bracket has been imported as a STL file and then FEA analysis has been done to find out the deflection under load. This will give you idea for the complete workflow.
