Piezoelectricity

Analyze coupled mechanical and electrical response in a piezoelectric solid.

Where to find it

Physics → Add Physics → Piezoelectricity; System → physics node

How to use it

Assign a piezoelectric material with the intended orientation, add mechanical supports and loads, and set electrical ground and excitation boundaries. Choose an available study in System Solvers and run it after building any required mesh.

Result

Inspect both displacement/stress and electrical potential or charge for the same solution.

Troubleshooting

Check tensor convention, material orientation and electric reference. Reversing a poling axis can reverse the coupling response.
