38.4.2. Properties
The user can modify the property of Bushing Bearing Type A Group in the following dialog box.
Journal Radius: Enters the radius of Action Body(R1)
Clearance: Enters the gap between the Base Body and the Action Body (XB)
Journal Width: Enters the width of Action Body
Gap without force: The intermediate range that the displacement does not make the reaction force.
No. of Node: The nodes are arranged with clockwise as a value which shares circumference at No. of node.
No. of Strands: The number of elements along the axial direction of Bearing (1~5). Each stand can have different stiffness and damping values.
Axial Force Component: If it is checked, the axial force is evaluated. Even though it uses the same force model and parameters (K & C) as the bearing force, both forces are independently operated.
Pre Load: Enters an initial load that pulls the Action Body to the Base Body.
Only Compression
Only Tension
Tension-Compression
Ko: Enters the stiffness at the zero displacement
Kb: Enters the stiffness at the maximum displacement
Co: Enters the damping at the zero displacement
Cb: Enters the damping at the maximum displacement
