II. How To Use ATILA 3.1
Bimorph (2) PROBLEM - 3D Rectangular Plate, PZT4 = 40mm x 6mm x 1mm x 2 pieces, Cantilever Support BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS Data -> Conditions -> Volumes -> Geometry -> Polarization (Cartesian) -> Define Polarization (P1) (0,0,1) direction 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 Data -> Conditions -> Volumes -> Geometry -> Polarization (Cartesian) -> Define Polarization (P2) (0,0,-1) direction Assign Polarization (Local-Axes P1 and P2) -> Choose the volume -> Finish
Data -> Conditions -> Surfaces -> Potential 0.0 (or Ground in ATILA 5.2.4 or higher version) -> Assign the bottom surface-> Forced Potential 1.0 -> Assign the top surface -> Floating -> Assign the center surface
Data -> Conditions -> Surfaces -> Surface Constraints -> X, Y and Z components -> Clamped -> Assign left two surfaces To check the assignment -> Draw -> All conditions -> Include local axes
