Hi

I have a simple model that a piston presses down brain tissue.

The piston moves with a prescribed displacement.

A problem is that the piston always moved the same distance, even I have changed numbers in prescribed displacement.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

I attached the file.

Thanks,

Jay

In addition to the input file that I attached, now I have 'para=range(0,0.1,1)', but still has the same problem.

Jay-

My first thought is that it might be just in the visualization. Have you checked the absolute values of the displacement? See attached picture to see where to manually fix the deformation scaling to a value of 1. This will make sure that the deformed plot is scaled to the real situation.
