this is a print screen from the displacement results:

RE: Brazillian Disk in Abaqus

The orientation of the contact surfaces of the two rigids points in the wrong direction.
I can't use the cae-file from the student edition, so I've switches SPOS and SNEG in the input file and then the contacts work. But then you will see other issues come up during the analysis.
