Hello Sandra,

Use a Gasket material and mesh the compressible layer with SOLSHELL190 elements. You need the solid body of the gasket to be meshable with a Mesh Method of Sweep. You need to mesh a single layer of elements through the thickness, then you can use a Gasket material on that body.

The Gasket material allows you to define a table of pressure vs closure.
