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

AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing a limitation in prescribed displacement during simulations in COMSOL, where the object does not stretch beyond 2.18 micrometers despite various extreme values applied. They have also tested applied force with similar results, raising questions about the material behavior. Suggestions include ensuring that plots are refreshed after each run and verifying that the correct data source is used. Additionally, creating plots from scratch may help in resolving the issue. The discussion highlights potential troubleshooting steps for simulating rubber-like materials in COMSOL.

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 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
