Excerpt

The loads can be applied to the selected bearing by defining the related parameters below.

Bearing Load

Bearing: Specify the bearing at which the load will be applied.

Stage: Specify the stage at which the bearing load will be applied.

Fx: Specify the force applied in elements local X-axis direction.

Fy: Specify the force applied in elements local Y-axis direction.

Fz (Gravity): Specify the force applied in elements local negative Z-axis direction.

Mx: Specify the moment applied around the X-axis.

My: Specify the moment applied around the Y-axis.

Mz: Specify the moment applied around the Z-axis.

Info
Although Fz is applied in the direction of gravity (positive values for Fz will correspond to the downward direction, as with gravity), Mz will have a positive direction relative to the +Z axis or, in other words, in the upward direction.

Info

Loads are applied taking into account bearing rotation angle

The loads defined

using

for the

Bearing Load object

bearings are applied based on the

)

coordinate system

. If the rotation angle parameter of the bearing is nonzero, the longitudinal and transverse directions will adjust accordingly.
