I have a meshed model of a vehicle wheel hub and i am thinking of applying vehicle loads via an RBE3 spider from axel centre to the bearing contact surface on the hub.I have linear beam elements going from the RBE3 to the Tire Contact Patch position.
Any thoughts on where to best restrain the model.I am thinking of restraining the model at the wheel bolt hole positions.
Any opinions on this?
