Hi to everybody,

I have a shaft with a fan forced-fit ( steel for the shaft and plastic for the fan), I have to consider a thermal load of 130°C because the assembly (fan+shaft)work at these temperature and I want to evaluate if the fan remain fit(with the contact tool). I consider only 1/4 of the geometry for the simmetry and I use a "frictional support", is it correct?
