For accomplishing the same, I applied rubber to the gasket(top) and steel to the casing(bottom) shown in the figure below and frictional contact was defined between both the parts with interference treatment set to Adjust to Touch.

The no. of substeps were kept sufficiently large(&gt;250 in total) and since rubber has hyperelastic material property, large deformation was turned on and appropriate commands were given for reduced integration and mixed u-p formulation. &lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;font-size: 10pt;&#8221;&gt;The problem diverges at the time step when the gasket is compressed after settling in. The error that is shown states that the problem failed to converge for the nonlinear problem. Not sure whether the problem is in the mesh, refining which would cause increase the already lengthy solution times.
