Use of bushings

Hi,

I need some help in the use of bushings. I need to know the right way to use it. I tried to read the Online Help but I didn't understand how to use it.

What is the difference between the use of a compliant revolute jont and a bushing?

Thanks

Stefano

Hello Stefano - There is no difference between a compliant joint and a bushing except that a compliant joint gives flexibility to toggle between the compliant and non-compliant state.

Hello Praful,

I desire to know how can I express a radial stiffness to a compliant joint and how to give, as input, a curve.

Thanks

Hi @stefano1

You can provide rotational stiffness (rot stiffness). In the sub-panel choose curve and refer the curve over there.

Thanks Prakash,

here I reed Ktx and Kty but I want to refer a unique radial stiffness. How can I do that?

Hi,

I need to know what should I put into the curve as x and y variables in order to obtain the curves for translational stiffness.

Thanks

If you have curve data in .csv file, you can use FIle and refer the file for both X and Y or you can use Math to input curve data.
