Edited the geo to improve the mesh. The mesh update needs to be on the gas. Added a 3 equation to allow the copper to be in both the electrical solution and the StressSolver. Update boundary conditions to update mesh of gas as the plates deflect. changed to the Mumps solver for direct, unfpack ran out of memory. created elmer mesh with
ElmerGrid 14 2 gemcell.msh -autoclean -increase
to go to quadratic tetrahedron.
