Great advert for Waymo (who they ?) who seemingly can't control their cars remotely. I wonder if the guy ever got out ?

Surprised this one hadn't made it to these pages as yet :-

I am modelling a circular structure subject to tension and bending loads. I need to use equivalent material properties due to it's complex internal structure and the surrounding components that are also being modelled. I have some test data for axial, torsion and bending stiffness but certainly...
I'm looking for material data for Neoprene and am struggling on parameters suitable for an FEA model using either the Mooney or Arruda-Boyce material models. Can anyone suggest suitable numbers or a web reference please ?
Is there a simple formula for calculating the bending (lateral) stiffness of a coiled helical spring ? I see lots of information on extensional and torsional stiffness but nothing on bending. All help would be appreciated.
I've trying to do a plane stress analysis but it would appear you have to create your mesh in the x-y plane. Is this true and if so how can I correct my error ? I don't want to re-mesh yet it seems impossible (?) to rotate the whole mesh as areas etc are attached.
Thanks,
