How to do a Compression test

Hello dear all.

i hope this is the right place to ask.

i am trying to a simple compression test (just a cylinder with a certain thickness under the compression of two rigid plates, non-linear), i create my 3D geometry in external software and then i exported into hyperworks, from there i have no clue how to move on, because of my next doubts.

1. the plates created in external geometry are in 3d, how to make them as a plate shell in hyperworks.

2. are those plates meshed? i want them as something really rigid and i want lower the computational cost using shell and i want to consider them as a rigid system.

3. my geometry is created already having contacts the cylinder and the plates in contact

4. now i am doing a single cylinder but in the future is going to be a quite complex geometry, therefore, from imported geometry then the mesh is generated followed by the analysis right. is there any tutorial considering the whole steps (importing geometry meshing and analyzing or solving).

Take a look at the attached file.
