http://imechanica.org/node/3252 Comments for "Peizoelectric modelling in abaqus" en http://imechanica.org/node/3252 <p> i m struggling to model pzt in abaqus. when i meshed and submitted the job, it aborted giving the message that anisotropic material requires local coordinate system to be assigned for elements. i dunno how to do this. is the equation in constraint related to this? </p> <p> wat is the purpose of equation option in constrain? the description givewn is not clear. </p> <p> while doing pzt analysis should i ve to do it in multiple steps? </p> <p> ma first&nbsp;problem is to capture the response of pzt while applying 100V alone. I m not applying any other mech load along with it. </p> <p> ma second problem is to attach this pzt element to a curvewd plate and to obtain the response along with mechanical transverse load on the plate. please do help me in either proceeding with ma problem... </p> <p> &nbsp; </p> <p> thanks in advance :) </p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/3252#comments Ask iMechanica Sat, 31 May 2008 02:17:18 -0400 mechsrini 3252 at http://imechanica.org
