Adding diamond shape voltage load/ electrode Answered
Hello I am not able to add diamond shape voltage load or electrode on piezocomposite material in designer mode.is it possible in OnScale designer mode? Please help me

Have you tried defining your electrode as an interface between materials? If one of your materials has the diamond shape, the electrode will also have that shape.
Yes. I am defining electrode as interface between materials.but my material shape is slab.piezocomposite material. but electrode shading has diamond shape.how can i do it in designer mode
There should be two materials at the interface. If you define one of the interface materials with a diamond shape such that the interface is also diamond your electrode will have the same shape.
Two materials have square shape.it is a slab.is it possible to apply diamond shape electrode to this materials
You can think of the interface used to define electrodes as being an object interface. What it references is not the underlying material but rather, the logical object. So in addition to the slab you can define a new object with the same material properties as the slab but a different shape. This does nothing physically, but logically it allows you to create an object interface with a different shape.

ok..let me try in this way.thanks a lot for your response
I did in this way.but i didn't get electrode shape in diamond. I am modelling piezocomposite material with shaded diamond shape electrode.i am not able to do this.electrode shape always came in square shape.
Can you show me where you created the diamond shaped objMatr region.
Actually the material is a composite.that is pzt cube pillars are embedded in a polymer Matrix. I have to apply electrode in pzt pillars in the interface of polymer matrix.so i made polymer in diamond shape and applied electrodes.but still electrodes are in square shape.
This should have produced a diamond electrode. Can you please show your commands for creating the diamond polymer as well as the electrode definition.
I am using OnScale in designer mode only. I selected materials from materials library and applied electrode load.
Can you please show your definitions for the diamond polymer as well as electrical loads. Screenshots are fine.
First picture(blue) is the polymer and second picture is pzt pillars. third picture is the piezocomposite. i need to apply electrodes on pzt pillars in the interface of polymer in this particular shape. but i got electrode in square shape only. How to solve it
Can you please share your file to onscale-support@ansys.com.
