Twin discs

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

RE: Twin discs

Hi Mosab2,

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

RE: Twin discs

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
 

RE: Twin discs

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?

RE: Twin discs

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.
