Voltage Phase Difference (harmonic analysis)

Hi,

Is it possible to obtain a voltage phase difference between 2 electrodes (areas) with ANSYS?

I have 2 (piezo) patches and in total 4 areas to apply a voltage. If I apply 0volt on one area, and 100 volt on the other area, I can apply the wished 100Volt on one patch. The same can be done with the 2 other areas of the second patch. However I don't know how to obtain a phase difference between the applied voltages on the two (piezo) patches.

Since I'm doing an harmonic analysis the phase difference does play a role.

Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance! I hope to hear from you.

At this moment I use:
D,all,VOLT,100
as a command to apply 100 Volt on the selected nodes
