Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor Voltage Readout

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

I drew a piezoresistive pressure sensor with 4 ressitors (R1,R2,R3,R4) which are piezoressistive material. I want to build also a readout circuit with wheatstone bridge to simulate voltage output when pressure applied.

However, I cannot connect an electircal cirrcuit to solid materials in COMSOL. with electrical circuit module, it only defines nodes. but I have no idea which nodes will corresponds to my resistors in 3D solid sketch? Which module should I use to do this analysis? Can anybody help please?

If you have the full AC/DC module you have the ability to make boundaries Terminals, which can then be connected to the circuits module. If not you may have to look for a workaround.

Probably you want to use cir and ec physics.
