Deformable industrial parts: O-rings, seals, gaskets and grommets

Assembly lines fit soft parts thousands of times a day: an O-ring into a groove, a seal strip onto a door flange, a grommet into a panel hole. The geometry of these parts is known from CAD. What decides whether an insertion works in simulation is the material: how much the rubber stretches, how hard it pushes back and how much it grips.

We build each part from its drawing or standard size and model it as a volume, with stiffness, damping and friction set for the real compound, such as NBR, EPDM or silicone. Parts that mate with something rigid, such as a hose clamp or a panel, come with that part too.

A glimpse of the catalog

This is a glimpse. The full catalog goes further.

We show a sample of each category here. Leave your details and we will email you the full catalog, with every asset, variant and format we deliver.

Physics model

FEM soft body
A tetrahedral volume solved with the finite element method, with the visible surface carried by it. Used for foam, rubber and soft food.
Elastic rod
A centerline curve with a radius, and stiffness in bending, twisting and stretching. Used for cables, wires, hoses and ropes.
Thin shell
A thin surface with in-plane and bending stiffness, sealed or open, with contents modeled inside. Used for film, bags, cans and paper.
