Entering a linear elasticity eq in PDE coefficient form

I'm having some trouble entering a linear elasticity eq in COMSOL 3.5. I'm trying to enter the equation into "PDE coefficient form" by defining diffusion coefficient tensor c with

This should yield the same equation system with Structural Mechanics application mode (which is given in weak form). However, when I calculated the eigenfrequencies of a cylinder with these two methods I got different results.
Could someone post a working linear elasticity model expressed in strong form?
Thanks in advance,
