In this lesson, we will simulate the behavior of an o-ring. O-rings are widely used in sealing applications. In this simulation, we will see that all three sources of structural nonlinearities are included:
- Large Deformation
- Material nonlinearities
- Contact
Also, we will show how 2D axisymmetric is realized in the simulation.
