Hi,
If you don't need results on the bearing itself, you don´t need need to introduce the ball bearing component. You can model it using conectors and couplings. Check the manuals for those elements.

I've obtained a solution from another Abaqus group. I paste it here in case someone else find it useful:
---------------------------------------------
This should be relativley straight forward. Just click the appropriate buttons to do what you want, then look in the *.rpy file. It should have...
I need to automatize a video creation process using a python script. I have a odb and need to create a script capable of:
- Define common plot options and Contour plot options
- Define active frames
- Animate time history
- Save image animation
I have little experience with abaqus scripting...
I think the results are OK end the apparent grow in diameter is due to the scale factor of the deformed shape and/or the perspective.
You should measure the displacement at one point of the outer diameter of the unconstrained face and check if the result is consistent.
Hope it helps.
Hi,
In a Steady-state step, the magnitude of the force is constant for all frequencies. I think you have to divide the displacement value by the force applied (constant).
If you use a force of magnitude=1, the diagram you get is displacement/force on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis
hope...
Thanks rstupplebeen and CharlieM80 for your answers. What I'm trying to model is a Kaplan turbine shaft. It's a vertical shaft supported by two bearings and subjected to a magnetic body force on the top end (generator). This body force is attractive, depending on the distance between rotor and...
Hi All,
I'm trying to model a magnetic interaction between a shaft an the stator. The magnetic interaction behaves like a spring with negative stiffness: When the shaft approaches the stator, the attraction force increments.
I've tried using a connector element with negative stiffness, but...
