hi all, I m working in developing microgripper using piezo actuators and trying to findout the displacement at the tip of gripper and the gripping force for a given piezo actuation. I m trying to do it with ANSYS7.0 . I m not considering any piezo material properties etc.. , i m only giving displacement at the nodes on the arm of gripper. I m getting results but i dont know whether they are correct or not.. Do i have to take piezo into account?? can anyone plz help me? Thankx Madhab
