Connect Shaft to Bracket, Simulate Ball Bearing

Hello, 

 

I have to connect a shaft to a bracket. In reality the shaft would be connected with a ball bearing but I try to figure out how to do it in Hypermesh. 

It is Imortant, because the shaft increases the stiffness of the whole structure.

I have acceleration loads, so in my opinion rigids seem inappropriate because the Forces/Displacements have to be transfered either way. 

 

How could I do that? 

 

Thank you.
