 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
