Depending on what your goal is, the answers will be very different. Is it a ball bearing, a needle roller bearing or a bushing that is supporting the shaft?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:01:30 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278054#M117776 ChrisKaswer 2013-02-07T13:01:30Z Re: how to apply bearing constraint? https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278055#M117777 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thanx for ur reply...</P><P></P><P>it is for sperical roller bearing. i also do not know how to calculate the reaction force on the the bearings?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:12:34 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278055#M117777 rohit_rajan 2013-02-07T13:12:34Z Re: how to apply bearing constraint? https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278056#M117778 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>OK, this helps, but you still did not mention if this is for Mechanica or MDX/MDO use.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:16:06 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278056#M117778 ChrisKaswer 2013-02-07T13:16:06Z Re: how to apply bearing constraint? https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278057#M117779 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>oops sorry...at present we want it on mechanica.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:26:53 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278057#M117779 rohit_rajan 2013-02-07T13:26:53Z Re: how to apply bearing constraint? https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278058#M117780 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>OK, good - I have an excellent reference at PTC's website that will address your problem pretty closely:</P><P></P><P><A href="http://www.ptc.com/cs/cs_25/howto/mst6864/mst6864.htm">http://www.ptc.com/cs/cs_25/howto/mst6864/mst6864.htm</A></P><P></P><P>It does assume that the support is an ideal "point" support, but it's a pretty good approach to simulate a shperical bearing support. I think it will do a nice job for what you'd like to accomplish, short of modeling the shperical rolling elements and races in detail.</P><P></P><P>Cheers,</P><P></P><P>Chris</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 13:43:44 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278058#M117780 ChrisKaswer 2013-02-07T13:43:44Z Re: how to apply bearing constraint? https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278059#M117781 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thanx a lot for your reply..but i am not under maintenace....i am not allowed to see that link.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:03:57 GMT https://community.ptc.com/t5/Creo-Modeling-Questions/how-to-apply-bearing-constraint/m-p/278059#M117781 rohit_rajan 2013-02-07T14:03:57Z
