Hi,
I am using ABAQUS (6.7) to study the vibrational modes of piezoelectric structure. I can excite the piezo-material by applying a voltage across its surface, however when I try to do so through a gold electrode I am not able to excite the structure.
I specify the conductivity of gold and tie the electrodes to the quartz plate. Since I am only interested in the electrical analysis here, what element type do I use for gold and how can I couple the 2 materials to be able to electrically excite the piezoelectric material?
Thanks
