The structures are directly actuated by electrical potentials applied on the electrodes. The losses associated with the piezo coupling and the radiating energy are also accounted for in the software.

Special elements are available for modeling friction layers.
Special elements perform friction layers to compute contact stiffnesses and contact pressure. Modal analyses provides for each mode the resonance and antiresonance frequencies, the effective coupling coefficient, which quantifies the electromechanical conversion and soon, the modal damping. Deformation and distribution of the electrical potential. Beam pattern - Isobars in the fluid.
