We perform a finite element analysis of gel membrane constrained on a grass substrate to investigate influence factors in a three dimensional structure assembled from a gel film. In-plane compressive stresses cause a three dimensional deformation due to swelling of a gel film. Such a deformation is influenced by attractive force, friction, imperfection and so on. In this study, we, particular, investigate the influence of attractive force by conducting finite element analysis for the Neo-Hookean body. The obtained results are shown to discuss deformation patterns caused in response to different attractive forces.
