II. How To Use ATILA

0.1 General Simulation Process/Lean GiD


GEOMETRY/DRAWING
Draw the structure, using the layers in the Utilities.

MATERIALS ASSIGMENT
Assign the materials, Piezoelectric, Elastic, Magnetostrictive, Magnetic, and Acoustic Medium.

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
Assign Polarization (dielectric or magnetic), Potential, Magnetic Field, Mechanical Stress, and Electrical Load.

PROBLEM DATA
Assign the Problem Type;3D, 2D (Axisymmetric, Planer Stress, Planer Strain).
Assign the Calculation Type; Static, Modal, Harmonic and Transient.

Static - At one frequency lower than 1 kH
Modal - At all the resonance frequencies
Harmonic - Frequency dependence of Admittance/Impedance (magnitude and phase)
Transient - Unavailable for the Demo Version

FREQUENCY DATA
Assign the calculation Frequency range for the Harmonic case.

MESHING
Learn the smart meshing with Structured Mesh.

CALCULATION
