Uniaxial Strain Simulation not as specified

I tried to some simple uniaxial strain simulation for bulk. The problem that I encountered is that even though I specified the initial and final strain, the strain value in the final results is not what I specified.

Only the uniaxial strain has this problem, biaxial strain is fine. Is there a bug or there are some restrictions for the uniaxial strain simulation?

Thanks!

    This issue has been fixed in the tool now and the version 2.0.7 has the correct strain % values. Thanks for bringing this to our notice.

    Hi, hanks for reporting this! Can you give us more information? For example, what input

    parameters did you use? What initial strain value did you specify?

      Thanks for replying.

      I was trying to simulate the strain on Bulk Ge uniaxial strain in 110 initial strain=-.03 Fina strain=.03

      In the simulation results, the strain is -0.000747 to +0.000747.

        This is because the results are plotted wrt to eps_xx and since the uniaxial strain is along 110 direction then the eps_xx,eps_yy and eps_zz values are different since they have to be resolved along the standard axes.
