I'm trying to model a transient model with material properties for piezoelectricity (electrical conductivity, dielectric and piezoelectric).
Hi Chen,
Density and properties of elasticity are vital inputs in transient models in solid media. But I’m interested in simulating a transient model with piezoelectric excitation (Where, I need to input electrical conductivity, dielectric and piezoelectric properties). I have gone through the Abaqus user manual but there is no reference about material property limitations in transient models.
However, do you have any suggestions to use aforementioned properties in a transient model?
Thank you
Hi
Below is what I found in help doc: "The density of the material must be defined (“Density,” Section 21.2.1). The following material properties are not active during a modal dynamic analysis: plasticity and other inelastic effects, rate-dependent material properties, thermal properties, mass diffusion properties, electrical properties (except for the electrical potential, , in piezoelectric analysis), and pore fluid flow properties. See “General and linear perturbation procedures,” Section 6.1.3."
Another suggestion is just to have a try. You will find what you need. As for me abaqus is so complex that I also need to try many different ways to solve a new problems.
Good luck.
Chen
