how pro/e intrerprets bearing loads

[ksarita]

hi ,

i have a problem of how pro/e is intrepreting the bearing loads. Can anyone help me out.

i will give a brief explination of the problem.

i have a rod with 3 holes at the the bottom at 120 degrees apart. i have to apply a load of 337.5 on the whole structure which is distributed on to the 3 holes. So i applied 112.5 as bearing load on each hole. And when i apply 337.5 by seleting all the 3 holes at a time, the stress are 3 times to what i got when applyng 112.5 on each hole.

So i confused which one is right and how pro/e is considering bearing loads.

PLease help me out , i am stuck!

thanks

Sarita

Sarita,
Is the rod bolted to another surface with the help of bolts going through these holes ?

Hi Sarita,
Before you conducted any analyze try to check you “total load at point”. It means check the Loads->RevTotLoad and followed the instructions. I think that your first method is correct i.e. 1/3 of load on each hole.
