Hi
I am solving a solid mechanics deformation problem. In which I am getting unexpected deformation at two locations on the surface of body 1 (see attached pic). The underlying body is not deforming at all, and I am not sure how the top body is deforming through the underlying body 2, only at specific locations.
It is the run 2 of a sub-simulation named “Copy of Cascadia Q“ from the project linked here link.
Thank you

Hi,
Is the first column for the pressure BC supposed to be X [m]? From your setup it feels like you wanted to go for t[s] instead.
PS: how are you defining the material properties for these volumes, in particular creep for the first material? The material definition is quite odd, with 0.5 Poisson’s ratio (i.e. incompressible material) but a very high Young’s modulus and creep at the same time.
Hi
First, the pressure term is correctly applied in the X direction. Second, the material properties are also correct.
However, my question remains unanswered as to why the upper volume is deforming through the lower volume?
