How to choose bearing force direction.

Rodrigo_Poblet

Hello,

I'm trying to add a bearing force on a cilyndrical face, but it automatically selects one of the two radial directions, and it is impossible to change it.

I've tried making a new system for the cylinder, but the problem persists, it always selects the same direction.

As shown in the image, the bearing force is pointing horizontally, but I want to make it point vertically.

I can't change the direction anywhere, the option for determining the direction with vector coordinates is also unavailable when bearing force is selected.

Is there any way to change this, or to simulate a bearing contact any other way.

Hi @Rodrigo_Poblet,

In the Property Editor, you have multiple options for defining the direction and magnitude of this Bearing Force. For example, you can modify the Mode from Direction to Components and set the force only in the Fz field:

Hope this helps!
