BDK:

You cannot combine CIRC124 and SOLID123 in the same model.  If you want to use
CIRC124, then you need to use TRANS126 to represent the electrostatic-structural
behavior.  TRANS126 and CIRC124 have identical VOLT DOFs. They can be used in
the same model (see example in "Coupled-Field Analysis Guide").

Subject: [mems-talk] Electrostatic Actuation using ANSYS


Hello,
   I am trying to simulate "electrostatic actuation" analysis in ANSYS 8.0. I am
using multifield solver approach. Electrostatic element used in the analysis is
SOLID123. I want to introduce a resistor and voltage source using element
CIRCUIT124. But since both these elements have VOLT degree of freedom, ANSYS
does not accept these elements in one analysis. How can I connect a voltage
source to electrostatic eleent via resistor (So that there will be voltage drop
across resistor) ?
   If anyone could help me, that will be great help for me. You can contact me
at memsdevice@yahoo.co.in .

Regards,
BDK
