Hi, I need to design a rubber part 'very elastic, that is between 2 wood parts in an assembly.
Is there any tutorial to help me to learn how to make this part flexible and adapt his geometry, depending on position of wood parts ?
Thanks

Don't know if you have access to it, but PTC Enterprise Learning - Advanced Assembly Design module has a section on flexibility that includes information on creating a flexibility by dimension.

For what I believe you are trying to do, a sheet of rubber between 2 flat pieces of wood, make it flexible, and vary the thickness. In the flexible dialog box, for the thickness dimension, change the method to distance and select the surfaces that define the gap between the wood.

There are also several other methods available.

There is always more to learn.
