Hey Bastride. The animation is done with the Pro/Animation module so no friction has been defined. I'm not sure the Mechanism module can do this type of analysis. I'm guessing you'r trying to analyze frition forces, deceleation time etc.? If so, it's better just to do some quick hand calculations. If you are looking for the heat transfer parameters you will need a more advanced FEM or CFD software. Pro/E is quite crude in this area of analysis. I used CFdesign for this.
how did you made the contact bettwen pads and rotor? Were you using pro-mechanism? I tried to do the same with a car brake put I can't define friction.
