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

Click For 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 'Belt C-C distance to Tension'

Hi all, I've looked through design manuals (SDP/SI, Gates, Naismith) and textbooks like Shigley's, but haven't found an equation linking initial belt tension to pulley center-to-center distance for a timing belt. I understand initial tension is typically based on the applied load, but I'm curious: A) Is there a known equation relating tension to C-C distance? B) If not, how might one go about deriving it? Thanks in advance!
