A numerical method aimed to predict the optomechanical dynamics in micro- and nano-structured resonant cavities is introduced here. The rigorousness of it is ensured by exploiting the harmonic version of the transformation optics (TO) technique and by considering all the energytransduction contributions of electrostriction, radiation pressure, photoelasticity and moving boundaries. Since our full-wave approach implements a multi-modal analysis and also considers material losses, from both a mechanical and an optical point of view, a considerable step further has been made in respect to the standard optomechanical perturbative theory. The efficiency and the versatility of the strategy are tested by analysing the optomechanical behaviour of a corrugated Si-based nanobeam and comparing numerical results to experimental ones from the literature
