I am doing extrusion analysis of a hollow profile. After extracting the flow volume when I click on the bearing icon, I can see a message ''Click on one of the displayed bearing curves''. But nothing is displayed below.

    Hello Shana,

    There are three functions in the Bearing icon ( explained below). Looks like you are selecting option #2. Please use option #1 as mentioned below. 

    1. Extract bearing region. Click on the middle of the icon as shown below. It should say "Create Bearing and Extract Bearing Curve".

    2. Setup Bearing Optimization. This has to be clicked when the whole model setup is completed. Please refer to Tutorial "Tutorial: Bearing Length Optimization" for more details.

    3. Set advanced bearing parameters. This should be used once the whole setup is completed. This is for to setup Friction coefficient to use for simulation and also to specifying uniform choke length and choke angle parametrically ( it can be used there there is no choke in die CAD and you want to setup using parameters)

    Thank you,
