We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Thanks for your reply, here is an image of the TPU95A properties, also I don´t think it's a hyperelastic material model since I just realized nonlinear behavior is off as seen in the next image:

For my gripper, red arrows indicate where there are fixed supports. There´s also a yellow arrow that indicates a displacement in the 'x' axis.

And I increase that displacement one by one (mm) analyzing how it influences the force at the tip of the gripper, like showed in this image:

Again, thanks for your help :)
