FEA of ball bearing and shaft interface
FEA of ball bearing and shaft interface
(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to model the connection between ball bearing and shaft in ANSYS workbench. The bearings are modeled as spring elements (know the radial stiffness of bearing for a given radial load) and the shaft using solid brick elements. How many springs are required to simulate the bearing? Is there a proven method to model ball bearings?
