Modal Frequency study with electrical circuit

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear All,

I have a piezo membrane driven by a voltage source. To speed up the calculation I am trying to use the modal solver. While step 1 (stationary) and step 2 (eigenfrequency) give me satisfying results, The frequency domain solver gives me only nul results: No displacement, no electric field... It feels like nothing is being solved on the last step or that the voltage source is not taken into account.

What can I do to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance!

It will be better if you could share the file so that person can understand your problem. Share the file, I will look into it

Modal solutions are based on a superposition of the eigenmodes of the system. When solving the eigenvalue próblem, all Dirichlet boundary conditions are set to zero. As a consequence, it is not possible to use a nonzero Dirichlet condition to excite the modal representation. There is not any nonzero term in any of the modes to be superimposed.
