Vulcanization of rubber is a chemical process. ANSYS Mechanical doesn't simulate chemical changes.
Physical testing of mechanical properties such as Young's Modulus shows how much they change with degree of vulcanization. You could use those properties in a simulation of a part that has loads and supports, but you would need the data on those properties as a function of degree of vulcanization to do that.
