II. How To Use ATILA

1.1 Rectangular Plate (3)
BOUNDARY CONDITIONS


PROBLEM - 3D Rectangular Plat, k31 Mode, PZT4 = 40mm x 6mm x 1mm


BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Potential

Data -> Conditions -> Surfaces -> Potential 0.0 (or Ground in ATILA 5.2.4 or higher version) -> Assign -> Potential 1.0 -> Assign

To check the assignment -> Draw -> All conditions -> Include local axes

Polarization

Data -> Conditions -> Volumes -> Geometry -> Polarization (Cartesian) -> Define Polarization (P1)

Polarization/Local Axis

Choose X and Angle -> Define X axis -> Click two points to define X axis -> Choose the suitable Cartesian P1 direction (z axis) -> Escape

Or: Choose 3PointsXZ -> Define X axis by putting (1,0,0) -> Then define Z axis by putting (0,0,1) -> Escape

Assign Polarization (Local-Axes P1) -> Choose the volume -> Finish

To check the assignment -> Draw -> All the conditions -> Include Local axes
