Piezoelectricity

Choose optimization objectives and design channels compatible with Piezoelectricity.

Where to find it

System Solver → Optimization

How to use it

Define an objective, select the design controls and their bounds, and add constraints before running the optimization study.

Objective quantities

• pze.compliance
• pze.mechanicalCompliance
• pze.u
• pze.disp
• pze.ux
• pze.uy
• pze.uz
• pze.V
• pze.strain
• pze.stress
• pze.mises
• pze.E
• pze.D
• pze.energy
• pze.couplingEnergy
• pze.strainEnergy
• pze.electricEnergy
• pze.velocity
• pze.acceleration

Result

Compare the final objective, constraint values, design and termination reason together.

Troubleshooting

Limits on iterations or evaluations can end a search before an optimum is reached. Inspect feasibility and termination reason, then verify the final design with a solve.
