This looks mostly fine Rohan, the disc stops suddenly because it has a very small inertia.
One suggestion is to have two separate materials for the disc and the pad. Edit the density of the material for the disc and add 3 zeros to the value so it is 1000 times heavier. If necessary, you can add another zero or two.
You didn't follow the times I laid out in the other discussion which I have copied below.
- Step 1, ramp the Rotational Velocity from 0 to the desired value in 0.9 seconds.
- Step 2, hold the Rotational Velocity constant for 0.09 seconds.
- Step 3, Deactivate the Joint Load (unless you want it active) in 0.01 seconds.
- Step 4, Apply the brakes!
- All your braking data will start at t=1.00 seconds.
You are ramping up the rotational velocity in 0.04 seconds. That will cause a large stress in the massive disc.
When you apply the brakes, you are ramping the force on over 0.01 seconds. Ramp the force on over 0.1 seconds.
