FEM analysis of disc spring

[fstopelli-2]

Hello,

I have to analyze 5 disc spring in series,

can I ask you any suggest for the analysis?

Looking on internert, I had found many papers only about single disc spring,
I have doubt that maybe it is not necessary analyze all series of 5 disc spring....

I would like to verify the force calculated anilitically for displacement known

Thank you for every help possible

Thank you

So how to connect the edges between every disc spring? I thank to use a "contact interfaces" but it Is not possibile with the edges..

better analytically

I Would like to know the reaction force obtained from displacement of 0,5 [mm], so What options I have to select? Thank you

[skunks]

measures "force" and "force_control"

Thank you so much, Skunks

Why "x 4"?

[skunks]

1/4 CAD-Geometry -> 1/4 Load

[fstopelli-2]

Yes, it's clear,

Thank you

Those are shown in parallel... the OP wanted to analyse in series.

Nice reference though!
