Reply To: Ball Bearing Transient Structural

[ashishkumar.gupta]

I am making the mesh finer with time. I converted the RPM to circumferential displacement using the Global cylindrical coordinate System. the axial disp =0 and Radial is free. I am applying Radial load as this the highly loaded region/ball in the entire ball bearing. Also, the races and ball are intially touching (No Gap and No Penetration) and all bodies are flexbile and of the same material. This is what happens on the Test bench as well.

I am doing transient because I will continue this to do FSI (Mech-Fluent) and to study the EHL behaviour in the contact region.

Is  there anything I should add/subtract?

Thank you!
