I would like to model a balloon used to plug the opening of an oddly shaped container. Ideally, the balloon would start uninflated, expand due to pressure and fill in the hole it is plugging. My intuition is to use contact pairs to look at the balloon-hole interaction. Is this the best approach for this model? Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
