DLS 02: Lozenge – shaped thin plate with one edge fixed – eigenfrequencies

Description

Material		Modulus of elasticity	$E=210 000 N/mm^2$
		Density	$\rho=7800 kg/m^3$
		Poisson’s ratio	$\nu= 0.3$
Geometry	Cross-section	Thickness	$e = 10mm$
	Boundary conditions	Along line AB	Fixed support
		Consider a case for each angel	α = 15°, 30°, 45°
Mesh		Maximum element size	$0.05m$
Mesh		Minimum element size	$0.00m$

How do I model a skew plate?
