Bearing Analysis
Hey!
I am trying to perform a structural and transient analysis on a Roller Element Bearing model. I am able to perform simple static analysis but I would like to utilize Hyperworks to simulate the following conditions:
Inner race to be rotating with a constant velocity and a fixed radial load is applied. Outer race is fixed. The balls should also be rotating.
I wish to know:
1. How I can give a constant velocity to the inner race of the bearing while also allowing the balls to rotate? Which card am I supposed to use?
2. What kind of contact constraint should I apply. Right now I am working with slide contact only.
3. Is quasi static analysis adviced or implicit non linear?
There is one video but in a different solver which does what I have been trying to do. I wish to do it in Hyperworks. Here is the link:
Also please suggest whether optistruct's non linear can be used or whether I should switch over to a different solver module!
Cheers

Hi @Sp108,
You need to decide when to apply the shock load.
I.e If you need to apply after attaining reaching full speed you must either shift the loading time or time taken to reach 1200 rpm.
As Prakash suggested it will help reducing the simulation time time
Hi! @Prakash Pagadala
@Karthic
So i have to adjust my trigger time for the velocity as well?
So to simulate rotation, should I input velocity value 125rpm at T=0 till T=0.015?
Is the velocity stepped or gradual?
