Piezoelectric modeling with abaqus

Hi,
I am a beginner user in the abaqus software.
I am trying to model the load on a piezoelectric to find the output voltage (EPOT). The model consists of the a load on the top surface of piezoelectric, the piezoelectric, and fixed condition in the bottom in the direction of Z. The problem is that the output voltage is extremely less than the experimental results. The abaqus gives me the range of 6E-9 V for the output voltage, however I was able to get 100 V as output voltage in the lab.
I also find a similar Thread from another user that had the same problem.
I attached the CAE file just in case.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
