using comsol multphysics to add structural mechanics

i'd like to add the Stress and strain tensor equations and others into the comsol multiphysics plane strain (this is hopes of including gauss's law -which i can already do- to make the piezoelectric constitutive relations).

however, i'm having issues with the notation. does anyone know how to do this?

I got it to work.

=sE(1,1)[1/Pa]*sXm_ps+sE(1,2)[1/Pa]*sYm_ps+sE(1,4)[1/Pa]*sXmYm_ps+0[C/N]*Ex_es+0[C/N]*Ey_es

However, my new issue now is that I can't equate this to eXm_ps (the strain term) since eXm_ps is used somewhere else.

is there any way around this?

I get the "duplicate variable name"

it says the variable is defined in the boundary.

These constitutive relations are defined in the subdomain.
