Model Description

Transducer design is one of the many applications that OnScale's core solvers are tailored for. From simple monolithic piezoelectric transducers to complex curved 1-3 piezocomposite array, OnScale can handle it.

As a demonstration, here is a 3D simulation of a simple transducer submerged in water.  Symmetry boundary conditions are used to simplify the CAD geometry and model size to reduce solve time. The transducer is driven with a piezoelectric load applied across the piezoceramic material.
