32.3.1.1. Bushing Bearing
A Bushing bearing is defined between two bodies. The created position types are five:
Engine Block & Shaft Main (EB_SM)
Shaft Pin & Connecting Rod (SP_CR)
Connecting Rod & Piston Pin (CR_PP)
Piston Pin & PisTon (PP_PT)
Engine Block & Balancing Shaft (EB_BS)
32.3.1.1.1. Modeling Options
Click the Bushing Bearing icon of the Crank Connector group in the Crank tab. The user can see the Crank Component Bearing- Bushing Bearing dialog box.
The user can choose the following types in Component Type and select the position where the bushing bearing is created in Component Index.
Click OK.
32.3.1.1.2. Properties
Click right mouse button on Bushing bearing component to choose Properties of Bushing bearing. The user can modify the Properties of BushingEBSM dialog box.
Translation and Rotation: Controls the characteristics of bushing bearing.
Please refer to the Friction types in below.
