Ball bearing simulation

Ball bearing simulation

Ball bearing simulation

(OP)
Hey guys,

I'm beginning with abaqus and i'm trying to simulate an assembly with ball bearing on abaqus, but i really don't know how to manage it.
I dont' find anything interessant on the abaqus documentation and on google, so i'm asking you.

Do i really need to introduce the ball bearing component?
Or can I just introduce the components of relative motion and/or forces and moments?
How to do that?

Thanks a lot.

RE: Ball bearing simulation

Hi,
If you don't need results on the bearing itself, you don´t need need to introduce the ball bearing component. You can model it using conectors and couplings. Check the manuals for those elements.
