Two bodies are connected by means of bearing (upper race and lower race bolted to respective bodies). Detailed analysis (ignore bearing model) is not required.


What type of connections could be given between two components? Can we assume a block instead of bearing, and give what type of connections?

    In Altair Simlab you can model Bearings.PFA screenshot from Simlab help.In Hypermesh OptiStruct by running  Superelement analysis you can extract bearing stiffness matrix.
