Resistor definition in Piezoelectric bimorph with ANSYS workbench

Hello, good day! I am trying to simulate similar bimorph piezoelectric harvester with below commands. However, the output power doesn't change with resistor value. Please help to find the reason. ET,10,CIRCU94,0 !SET UP RESISTOR R,1,100000 !RESISTANCE VALUE TYPE,10 !SET ELEMENT TYPE E,1,2 !CREATE RESISTOR BETWEEN NODES 1 AND 2 Thanks in advance Regards,

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

I think it is just like what you model cantilever beam, the difference is only there are two layers of material. The importance point is how you deal with the interface of two layers, you can merge the nodes, set the contact or tie, just accoridng to the ture condition.
