Twin discs

[mosab2]

Hi everbody,

I have one question:
Can i simulate two twin deformable discs, which that each one has an angular velocity, AS one deformable disc and rigid body???????

Thank you

Hi Mosab2,

Very sorry, would you mind clarifying your question, as i didn't understand it.

Hi OptiEng:

I want to simulate two twin deformable discs. But as i see, that it is a little dificult, so i thought that maybe i can obtain the same results if i simulate one deformable disc and put a rigid body.

So i ask if anyone know about this.

thank you

Well, I have found that having one rigid and one deformable disc makes the analysis simpler, I also felt this was a valid assumption in the problem I was looking at. I don't think you would obtain the same result as two deformable discs. Are you modelling a 2D problem?

If the disks are symmetric (geometry, material and velocity) then you can provide a rigid plane to be contacting surface. A frictionless assumption will be needed. I hope this helps.
