Modify Bushing

Right-click bushing → Modify

Modifies the following for a bushing:

■The two bodies to which the forces are applied.

■Translational and rotational properties for stiffness, damping, and preload.

■Force graphics.

For the option:	Do the following:
Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Name	Enter the name of the bushing to modify.
Action Body	Change the action body to which the force is applied.
Reaction Body	Change the body that receives the reaction forces.
Translational Properties:
Stiffness	Enter three stiffness coefficients.
Damping	Enter three viscous-damping coefficients. The force due to damping is zero when there are no relative translational velocities between the markers on the action and reaction bodies.
Preload	Enter three constant force (preload) values. Constant values indicate the magnitude of the force components along the x-, y-, and z-axeis of the coordinate system marker of the reaction body (J marker) when both the relative translational displacement and velocity of the markers on the action and reaction bodies are zero.
Rotational (Torque) Properties:
Stiffness	Enter three stiffness coefficients.
Damping	Enter three viscous-damping coefficients. The torque due to damping is zero when there are no relative rotational velocities between the markers on the action and reaction bodies.
Preload	Enter three constant torque (preload) values. Constant values indicate the magnitude of the torque components about the x-, y-, and z-axes of the coordinate system marker on the reaction body (J marker) when both the relative rotational displacement and velocity of the markers on the action and reaction bodies are zero.
Force Display	Specify whether you want to display force graphics for one of the parts, both, or none.
	Select to add any comments about the variable to help you manage and identify it. See Comments.
	Select to change the position of the force using the Precision Move dialog box.
	Select to create a force measure. Learn about creating Object Measures
