The Piezoresistivity, Layered multiphysics coupling node () computes the appropriate conductivity tensor according to the mechanical stress or strain from the Linear Elastic Material node in the Layered Shell interface and the piezoresistivity properties from the Piezoresistive Shell node in the Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface.

The Label is the default multiphysics coupling feature name.

The Name is used primarily as a scope prefix for variables defined by the coupling node. Refer to such variables in expressions using the pattern <name>.<variable_name>. In order to distinguish between variables belonging to different coupling nodes or physics interfaces, the name string must be unique. Only letters, numbers, and underscores (_) are permitted in the Name field. The first character must be a letter.

The default Name (for the first multiphysics coupling feature in the model) is pzrl1.

Only boundaries and layers that have both Piezoresistive Shell selected in the Electric Currents in Layered Shells interface and Linear Elastic Material selected in the Layered Shell interface are applicable.

This section defines the physics involved in the Piezoresistivity, Layered Shell multiphysics coupling. The Structure and Electric currents in shells lists include all applicable physics interfaces.

The default values depend on how the Piezoresistivity, Layered coupling node is created.

You can also select None from either list to uncouple the Piezoresistivity, Layered node from a physics interface. If the physics interface is removed from the Model Builder, for example if Layered Shell is deleted, then the list defaults to None as there is nothing to couple to.
