I modelled the Piezoelectric beam in Abaqus. And given the pressure loading on its top varying with time. I have (Electric potential ) EPOT values at each time instant at each time from the Dynamic implicit Abaqus Simulation. Kindly find the attached image.
How should I get the total potential difference across the Piezoelectric beam at each time instant ?
Thanks in Advances.
I don't know in ABAQUS, but in ANSYS APDL you can easily run time-domain simulations (transient response) in which you can obtain the voltage difference in the piezo electrodes at each time instant!
if the unit of EPOT is volts that should be the direct result. i think you have a problem with the solution itself not with the calculation method.
Thanks a lot for the valuable inputs.
Yes Ersin Sir, As per figure I want to know the single EPOT value at each time instant across the whole beam, Where as I am having EPOT at each node at each time instant.
Is there any other way to calculate the Electrical energy/Power across the PZT beam using Simulations ?
there should be a pop-up or similar calculator on the software you are using you should use that otherwise you may get a formattedexport data out of the software and calculate the node based calculations by yourself using a software such as Matlab or Excel.
