I am very new to Comsol and trying to simulated a elastomeric substrate with nanoparticle filled in it. I have following problems
I simulated only a rectangular film made of elastomer. I applied load at one end and opposite was fixed. But I could not achieve the behaviour as normally seen. Also the strain produced is very less and same in case of all the loads. Please suggest proper model I should use to obtain proper behaviour of the elastomeric film.

Do I have to consider the bulk modulus and shear modulus as well. As of now I am only including Young's Modulus, Poission's ratio, and density.
