Hello,
I would like to fit data for a ramped stress relaxation experiment. We apply a strain and allow the tissue to relax for a period of time and then apply another strain. There are 5 total consecutive strains.
1) Is it possible, in preview, to set multiple prescribed displacements and allow the material to relax for a period of time? I seem to be able to get a second prescribed displacement but then can't get the material to relax afterwards.
2) I was also wondering why the first pull takes ten time steps while the second is instantaneous?
3) Lastly, after my second pull, I see the stress increases rather than relaxes like after the first pull. Is there a reason for this?
