Arun: You can use the CMATRIX macro to calculate capacitance. All you do is mesh the dielectric and group the nodes on the surface of the conductors into nodal components. CMATRIX is explained in Chapter 10 of the "Low Frequency Electromagnetic Analysis Guide" and in the "Commands Reference". You can just type "HELP,CMATRIX" in the command line Window to get to the Commands Reference. Regards.

I am fairly sucessful in getting in displacements on applying pressure and voltage. but i am not able to get capacitance. can you please advice me which method to proceed in dtermining the capacitance of the parallel plate
