COMSOL: Why does the prescribed displacement stop at a certain point?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the limitations encountered when applying a prescribed displacement in COMSOL Multiphysics, specifically noting that the displacement does not exceed 2.18 micrometers regardless of the input values. Users have also reported similar results when applying force to the object, which is made of a rubber-like material. Key recommendations include ensuring that plots are refreshed after each simulation run and verifying the correct data source is used for the plots. Creating plots from scratch is also advised to avoid potential data discrepancies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software
  • Understanding of material properties, specifically rubber-like materials
  • Knowledge of prescribed displacement and force application in finite element analysis

I have been experimenting in producing some strain to this object. However, after applying a prescribed displacement and setting it to a certain value, it does not exceed 2.18[um] no matter any extreme value for the prescribed displacement.

I have also experimented with an applied force as well and the result is still the same?

Is there any ideas why the object would not stretch as much? considering this is a very rubber like material that I have assigned.

Make sure that plots are refreshed after subsequent runs and that they use the correct data source (solution). Maybe create the plots from scratch.
 

Thread 'Hydraulic Cylinder Held In Place Until Needed'

I have encountered a vertically oriented hydraulic cylinder that is designed to actuate and slice heavy cabling into sections with a blade. The cylinder is quite small (around 1.5 inches in diameter) and has an equally small stroke. The cylinder is single acting (i.e. it is pressurized from the bottom, and vented to atmosphere with a spring return, roughly 200lbs of force on the spring). The system operates at roughly 2500 psi. Interestingly, the cylinder has a pin that passes through its...
