Completing the material and section definitions and assigning section properties

The steel is modeled with linear elastic properties only (E = 200 × 109 Pa, ν = 0.3) because the loads should not be large enough to cause inelastic deformations.

Create a material named Steel with these properties. In addition, create two homogeneous solid section definitions: one named RubberSection that refers to the rubber material and one named SteelSection that refers to the steel material.

Before assigning section properties, partition the part into the two regions shown in Figure 1 using the Partition Face: Sketch tool.

Figure 1. Partition used to divide the part into two regions.

In the Sketcher, draw a horizontal line extending from the point where the circular arc intersects the right edge to any point past the left edge of the sketch.

The upper region represents the rubber mount, while the lower region represents the steel plate. Assign the appropriate section definitions to each region.
