Abstract

This guide is intended to help people wanting to do finite element analysis of piezoelectric materials by answering some of the questions that are particular to piezoelectric materials. The document is not intended as a complete beginners guide for finite element analysis in general as it is better dealt with by the individual software producers. The guide is based around the commercial package ANSYS as this is a popular package amongst piezoelectric material users, however much of the information will still be useful to users of other finite element codes.
