I just did a quick calculation treating the plate as a beam (should be good assumption since the aspect ratio is 20 to 1) and get a displacement at the end that is within 7% of the MYSTRAN plate problem result. I did run the problem in MYSTRAN and get exactly what you got, the displacement of 0.03613558. See the attached jpg which shows the beam displacement within 7% of the plate solution. Can you tell me what other sources gave you such a different answer?
