Hello, I am new to comsol and i was confused on how to simulation where i apply force on PVDF material and get the voltage output graph. If any one can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dhruv,

There are quite a few example models showing how to model piezoelectric behavior in the Application Gallery: here are a few. Various physics interfaces for modeling piezoelectric behavior are found primarily in the Structural Mechanics Module, the MEMS Module and the Acoustics Module, but also in the Composite Materials Module (layered shells), and their manuals, which you can access through File > Help > Documentation, should also be of help.

Since you mention that you are new to COMSOL, perhaps you are also looking for general training materials (not specific to piezoelectricity but applicable to piezoelectricity), so I am including in PS below a list of resources you may find helpful.

Best,

Jeff

PS: There are quite a number of resources you can draw upon to learn how to use COMSOL Multiphysics regardless of your specific application.

First, of course, is the software's documentation, which you can access through the File > Help > Documentation menu. It includes both theory manuals and tutorial manuals. Many tutorial models are also available already set up inside the software via File > Application Libraries.

The COMSOL website also offers many video tutorials on a wide range of topics in the Video Gallery and worked-out models in the Application Gallery. You will also find longer archived webinars here.

COMSOL offers many instructor-led training courses.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, I strongly recommend the Learning Center videos to get a solid foundation for your modeling with COMSOL: they cover the entire process of setting up a model from start to finish, and are a great resource for self training.
