dear！ I am doing a subject of piezoelectric beams subjected to lateral forces,and i want to constrain electrical displacement only in y direction,but in comsol i find i need to constrain both x and y direction,like the graphic in annex，can you tell me how to solve it?

Do you mean mechanical displacement?

no,i mean 'electric displacement' in the piezoelectric module,and it's symbol is expressed as Dx

Hi,
This boundary condition is not a 'constraint'. Mathematically, it is a Neumann condition ('flux condition'). Thus, the value zero is the same as not prescribing it at all.
