The Charge Conservation, Piezoelectric node is normally used together with a
Piezoelectric Effect multiphysics coupling node and a corresponding
Piezoelectric Material node in the
Solid Mechanics interface. The node is added by default to the
Electrostatics interface when adding a Piezoelectricity interface. It is also available from the context menu (right-click the
Electrostatics interface parent node) or from the
Physics toolbar.
If the node is used together with an active Piezoelectric Effect multiphysics coupling node, then these settings are locked. Note that if they are unlocked, then the material behaves like a dielectric and
not a piezoelectric. In this case, the default is to take the
Relative permittivity εrS (dimensionless) values
From material.
