39.2.3. Specialized Outputs

EHD Piston Lubrication has specialized outputs. There are two type of output position. First one is positive side and second one is negative side. It depends on the x axis of base marker. Half area of lubrication region in +x indicates positive side. Other half area of lubrication region in -x indicates negative side. Please refer to Figure 39.64.

  • FM: Force magnitude.

  • FX, FY, FZ: Force components with respect to output reference marker.

  • Hydrodynamic, Asperity: ‘Hydrodynamic’ indicates force related to hydrodynamic pressure. ‘Asperity’ indicates force related to asperity contact.
