Hi

I am trying to perform an indentation (spherical indenter) analysis of piezoelectric films. The problem is the electrical boundary conditions that change with the applied force. When a node is closed the electrical potential has to be zero whereas the node is open no BC should be applied. I have used DISP and MPC subroutines but finally these subroutines cannot be used to solve this problem. Does someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
