Piezoelectric Bimorph 1

Hi, I am trying to create a cantilever piezoelectric bimorph. I have successfully created the structure and found the master nodes of the electrodes. I am trying to connect the bimorph with a parallel circuit. My load is just a single resistor. One end has to connect to the middle electrode and the other end has to connect with both the top and bottom electrodes. I'm not really sure how to connect the resistor. Should I couple the voltage for the top and bottom electrodes?

My code is here:
