Reply To: Total deformation computational and experiment are not the same

Hi Mohamed,

Do you have force versus displacement data from experiment to compare against the simulation? If so, it would be helpful to identify the issue.

As a general suggestion, you can apply displacement-based or velocity-based boundary conditions for loading a tensile sample rather than force-based boundary conditions (like in your case). Velocity-based boundary conditions are also better in line with how samples are tested in labs.
