Thank you for your answer, a PZT is a piezoelectric sensor from which I need to get the voltage according to the beam bending. I have modeled the beam using a wire model since I can't find beam elements for a 3D deformable solid. Then I used a 3D deformable solid to model the sensor. Now I have...
Hi, this might be a very basic question but I can't solve it.
I'm having problems in getting the same results with different models, first I modeled a cantilever beam using a 3D deformable wire model, it is attached on one end with a step force on the other, the result I get is as expected, the...
This is the first time I am working with piezoelectric materials and I don't understand how to enter the properties into Abaqus as Abaqus request a matrix for stress and for strain but I only have the d31 and e33 coefficients. I dont know how to get the complete matrix from here. Hope you can...
Thank you for you answers, I am running just 2 steps and the, one for frequency and other for modal dynamics to get the velocity response. The model doesn't change, it starts with just one element with different properties from the rest, this is to simulate a given damage from the beginning of...
Hello,
I am new using Abaqus, I need to know how to change the properties of a specific element. First I calculated the velocity response of a normal beam but now I need to decrease the elastic properties of a certain element and run the analysis again. I've tried just modeling the beam in 3...
