Creating Bearing Connections
You now create bearing connections between the input shaft and ground and between the output shaft and ground.
To create bearing connections:
1. From the Driveline Components menu, point to Bearing, and then select New.
2. Create the first bearing:
■Bearing Name: input_shaft_1
■I Part: ges_input_shaft
■J Part: ._gearbox.ground
■Type: single
■Bearing Type: Axial_Radial
■Contact Stiffness: 1e7
■Contact Damping: 1e4
■Sharpness Factor: 1e4
■Axial Backlash: 0.0
■Radial Backlash: 0.0
■Diameter: 20
■Property File: mdi_0001.bea
■Location: Delta location from coordinate
■Coordinate Reference: cfs_input_shaft
■Location: 0, 0, 0
■Location in: local
■Orientation: Delta orientation from coordinate
■Construction Frame: cfs_input_shaft
■Orientation: 0, 0, 0
3. Select Apply.
4. Create the rest of the bearings using the same specifications used for the first bearing, except for:
Bearing Name: | I Part: | Coordinate Reference: | Construction Frame: |
|---|
input_shaft_2 | ges_input_shaft | cfs_input_shaft_end | cfs_input_shaft_end |
output_shaft_1 | ges_output_shaft | cfs_output_shaft | cfs_output_shaft |
output_shaft_2 | ges_output_shaft | cfs_output_shaft_end | cfs_output_shaft_end |
