Example11 Transient Analysis

Select “Transient resonant analysis” on the Piezoelectric Analysis tab and perform the analysis.
See Piezoelectric Analysis tab for reference.
As a result, the displacement change over the time can be viewed.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

For th transient resonant analysis, setting are required for both the resonant and transient analysis tabs.

Item	Settings
Solvers	Piezoelectric Analysis [Rayleigh]
Analysis Type	Transient resonant analysis

The resonant and transient analysis tabs are set up as follows.

Body Number/Type	Body Attribute Name	Material Name
0/Solid	piezo	000_P-4 *

* Available from the Material DB

The time dependency of the applied voltage is defined by weight function.

Boundary Condition Name/Topology	Tab	Boundary Condition Type	Settings
earth/Face	Electric	Electric wall	Voltage specified: Voltage 0[V]
hot/Face	Electric	Electric wall	Voltage specified: Voltage 1[V] Select “Time dependency”. Define “Weight function”.
fix/Face	Mechanical	Displacement	UX=0.0, UY=0, UZ=0

The weight vs. time is plotted below.

To see the time response, click [Results] -> [Display]. Select “Piezo/Time response” at [Solver], “Displacement” at [Field],

and “X component” at [Component] Then, click [Field Graph] at [Show Results] group and set the dialog box as follows.

Select “Horizontal axis: Mode (frequency, time, step, etc)”. See here for creating graph.

See [Field Graph] for more details.
