I was asked if it was possible to simulate the compression of an o-ring in an assembly. The engineer is working on a project and is trying to determine if the oring and slipper seal combination he's wanting to use will provide a good seal when the o-ring is compressed. I have only created 'dummy' o rings (solid revolved bodies) for assembly/bom purposes.
I found an o-ring model here on the forum that has horizontal/vertical compressed states, along with a design table to modify the equations.
Thanks,
Brad
