    Strange deformation in bearing dinamic analisys (2D)

    Thx again for your answer Rob. But it's not clear for me: what do you mean with "cut faces"? i.e for the roller the cut faces are the "two circle" along z axis? If so, they are just costrained in that plane...if i choose bc the z direction doesn't appear because 2d analysis.

    Strange deformation in bearing dinamic analisys (2D)

    Thx for the tips Rob, i'll try with double precision because i need a long step time if i want to have a complete revolution of the outer ring. Just another question: usually I work on 3d analysis. This is my first in 2d, and the only reason of a 2d approach is the computational cost (with our...

    Strange deformation in bearing dinamic analisys (2D)

    Look at the video in the link: https://vimeo.com/40404888 Analisys stopped because of this error: =================================================================== ***WARNING: In element 230715 of instance ESTERNO-1 the ratio of deformation speed to wave speed is 0.31876 at increment...

    Explicit dynamic analysis of a bearing

    Thks for your help! Yes i've got a lot of elements, i'll try to reduce it, even if it's not a main problem (lot of computational power here...i like to "play" with pc network ;) ). Instead, what do you mean with "the slower you load it the longer it takes"? Should i use 0.5 second for the first...

    Explicit dynamic analysis of a bearing

    You are right! I've attached a zip file containing cae. Hope it helps, i'm not so skilled with explicit analysis to understand the problem.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ba09d0c6-4865-449f-896b-9e2596a03f1c&file=MR2901_2D_exp.zip

    Explicit dynamic analysis of a bearing

    It's not what i want. The radial load must be constant while the rings move.

    Explicit dynamic analysis of a bearing

    It's what i've tryed to do, at least in the last step (the one with angular speed on the rigid surface). I've three steps, the radial load is applyed on the rigid surface in the first step, in the second i changed load modulus and in the third i've tryed a tabular amplitude like you can see...

    Explicit dynamic analysis of a bearing

    Hi everybody, i've a problem with an explicit analysis, dealing with a 2D cylindrical roller bearing working as track roller. The model is "simple": the inner ring is fixed in its own position, and the rigid surface is pushed against the outer ring. My problem is that i've set the force...

    Roller Element Bearing... defining contact

    It's a different kind of step, so probably you must build up a new model. As a matter of fact, i've done a static analysis over a full complement cilindrical rollers bearing using abaqus standard. Your .msg tells that you have too many increment: ok, but what about this rollers? I mean, this...

    Calculating Bearing Life without Fe-Safe: possible?

    Hi all I'm dealing with the problem in object: usually we use standard method (ISO) to estimate L (number of revolution before collapse), but now we are looking for a better solution. I'm totally out of concepts about fatigue analisys in abaqus, does anybody can provide something? The boss...
