Hello Everyone,

I intend to carry out piezoelectric simulations in ABAQUS. For that I am coupling mechanical and electrical field. But the problem is how to couple electric voltage (EPOT) between upper surface and lower surface. In ANSYS APDL, we have direct couple DOF option enabled which couples the Upper surface nodes and lower surface nodes. But in ABAQUS I found it's quite difficult.

Does anybody working on ABAQUS has any idea to above problem? If anybody has any paper or video, please share.

An early reply is highly appreciated. Please do needful.

Thank You !!!
