Rotational analysis of a flywheel

I am trying to determine stresses imposed on a flywheel rotating at 4000 rpm. I have tried mulitiple ways to constrain the part, but I am having no luck. I am applying the rotation as a centrifugal load (converted to rad/sec). I have done a hand calculation of the Burst speed, and found that my design would work with a 10x safety factor, but I would like to be able to analyze it as well. It should be pretty straight forward except for the constraints.
