Example14 Slit

General

  • An piezoelectric device with a slit is analyzed.
     

  • The “discontinuous” boundary condition is applied on the slit which is expandable freely.
     

  • The resulting displacement vectors can be viewed.
     

  • Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
