Hi everyone! I am new to ansys and I am trying to simulate a piezoelectric material by applying some pressure and wanting to see the output voltage in mechanical padl. the following is my code but when I get to \/POST1 part and try to display the deformed structure using PLDISP1, it will output the following command “The degree of freedom solution is not available. The PLDISP command is ignored.” I dont really know how to fix this. Could someone please help me figure out how to solve this and if there are any other issues in my code? thank you very much !<\/p>\n
