I am new to ANSYS and working on a code for piezoelectric material. I have two thin electrode layers on the top and bottom of a piezo disk (which I made into a cylinder on ANSYS). They are "glued" with 'vglue' and I have also tried 'aglue' and 'unite.' When I apply simulate a voltage being applied to this piezo disk and attempt to measure Z-displacement, the electrode layers on the piezo disk detach from the actual cylinder and raise up, as opposed to giving the piezoelectric material a dipole moment so that it may contract and expand.
Does vglue simply just bring them together, but not actually attach them to each other? Obviously the electrode layers do not detach from the disk in real life.. so is there a different gluing command that I should be using?
Thank you,
Lauren
