Deformation under gravitational force

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, i'm Maria and I begin to use Comsol for my master thesis. I have to model a female breast, in order to study how the gravitational force influences on it. First I choose my geometry (a simle emisphere) and the material (Silicon gel, whose basic properties are similar to the breast ones); then I impose boundary conditions (the wall cannot move) and I add body force (rho*g_const) as a force per unit volume. However I'm not able to obtain the correct plot about deformation of the single 3D isotropic breast model (An error message appears). Why? Can you help me?

Thank you, Best Regards

Mochi Maria
