Duration
1 day

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Ansys Mechanical

Software used
Ansys Mechanical

Benefits
  • Understand the physical aspects of electrical/mechanical coupling
  • Define piezoelectric material properties in Ansys Mechanical
  • Practice static and dynamic piezo effects in exercises
  • Design piezoelectric components using simulation

Description

With the introduction of Industry 4.0 and IoT (Internet of Things), the use of piezoelectric components has increased significantly over the last decade. Actuators are used, among other things, in ultrasonic tools to produce electronic bonding connections and for the ultrasonic welding of various plastic components, but also in cleaning devices and active damping elements. Piezo-acoustic sensors are used in various position and level measurement processes as well as in complex driving assistance systems (ADAS).

In this training, you will look at typical static and dynamic excitation conditions of piezoelectric sensors and actuators This enables you to make predictions during the piezoelectric component design stage and to analyze malfunctions. In addition to the necessary physical piezoelectric basics, various workshops will enable you to directly apply what you have learned. Finally, progressing further, more advanced simulation techniques such as model reduction possibilities of piezoelectric components will be discussed.

Detailed agenda for this 1-day training

Day 1

01 Modeling of piezoelectricity

  • Field coupling in Ansys Mechanical
  • Multiphysics Elements (Multiphysics Solid 226/227)
  • Peculiarities of piezoelectric materials

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
