Simulate an electrode

Hi, can someone please explain to me how I can simulate an electrode. I want to simulate a piece of piezoelectric that is grounded on one side, and has an electrode to measure the electric potential (when a force is applied) on the other side. If I plot the surface electric potential I get a voltage distribution, even when I use a "floating potential" on the electrode face. I was expecting a constant voltage across the face.

I tried the same thing in 2D, and it behaved as expected.
