Magnetic skyrmions and multiferroics are the most interesting objects in nanostructure science that have great potential in future spin-electronic technology. The study of the multiferroic skyrmions has attracted much interest in recent years. This paper reports on the magnetic skyrmions induced by an electric driving field on a composite multiferroic lattice. By using the spin dynamics method, we use a classical magnetic spin model and an electric pseudospin model, which are coupled by a strong magnetoelectric coupling in the dynamical simulations. Interestingly, we observe some skyrmion-like objects on the electric component during the switching process, which is due to the connection between the electric and the magnetic structures.
