Hello,

I am currently trying to simulate the deformation in a component with a force applied to its top surface whilst held at the bottom, for this I used the solidDisplacementFoam. When I simulate this it looks like only the top section of the geometry is being simulated:

My blockMeshDict and my boundary condition (D) is shown below (only things changed from original playeHole tutorial).

Could someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong? All I want to do is see where the largest displacements are and how the stress is distributed.

Thank you
