Hi !

 

I was wondering if the bushing element was a good way to design bearing stiffness (trans+rot) in MotionView ? If no what is the best way ?

 

Thanks ! :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    Yes, bushing is quite commonly used to represent bearings. Based on the type of bearing, one has to chose the rotational stiffness appropriately. One could also use the 'Curve' to represent the Force-Deflection specially for out of plane rotation directions as they tend to be non-linear in nature.
