The system I am trying to model is a 3" dia disk, aprox .050 thick. It is mounted between two plates each with .210 O-ring grooves. So the disk is being supported only by the O-rings on top and bottom, while the plates are fixed. I am then applying a central force and looking to analyze the deflection profile of the disk (dont care about o-rings).
I suppose I could model all the parts and utilize contact regions and let mechanica determine local deformation, but that is usally troublesome and extremely resource consuming/intensive.
So I would like to just model the disk, but I'm unsure as to the best way to contrain it. Any suggestions??
