    110 Iteration Max

    Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try.

    110 Iteration Max

    I have a pretty complex nonlinear, static structural problem that I have simplified about as much as I can, before I start potentially affecting the validity of my results. After running 110 iterations in WB V.11, the solver just stopped. Based on the Force Convergence plot, it looks like the...

    Dry Journal Bearing Design & Projected Area

    I'm pretty sure that's what I'm looking for. What I was HOPING for was a generally used rule of thumb which, as you pointed out, would use the radii, material properties and force. I really appreciate your response.

    Dry Journal Bearing Design & Projected Area

    I'm trying to design a dry journal bearing. It will be used in a 0-90 degree operating butterfly valve. All of the formulas I find deal with film thickness for the lubricant (generally oil). I'm going to use a 17-4 stainless shaft in a dry Nickel-Boron coated 316 sleeve. I need to calculate...
