I made a model and meshed it with quadratic tet and applied symmetry boundaries on the three flat surfaces. The model is pulled in tension by applying z-displacement on the back surface (not visible in image) and reaction force is requested for the elements and nodes at the surface shown. However, even though the stress field looks normal, the reaction force field looks weird with minimum RF values at all the nodes. Does anyone know if this is a bug in my model or is this normal? The model is also attached.
Thanks!
