MATRIX27 was used in the past for this purpose, but the introduction of element COMBI214 around 2010 made it unnecessary. COMBI214 is a bearing element with a 2x2 stiffness and damping matrix. The matrices can be unsymmetric and have negative off diagonal values (like for a journal bearing.) Could you see if COMBI214 can model your bearing?
