I want to apply forces on a region of my upright geometry at the place where bearing is mounted. How can I select the cross section and apply load on it

[peteroznewman]

Use DesignModeler, create a plane at the desired location and use it to Slice the geometry into two bodies, then select the two bodies and Form New Part to create a multibody part so you don't need bonded contact. Now you will have a surface and an edge where the bearing is mounted. You can even put two planes close together to make a surface for the bearing seat.

Will it work if I want to distribute all the load equally on the nodes in that area just like a rigid connection..??

[peteroznewman]

If you select a face, it will distribute the load proportionally to all nodes on that face. A force is different than a rigid connection. Please reply with an image to illustrate what you want to do, the boundary conditions and loads you want to apply if you need advice on how to build your model.

This is my bearing seat and i want to this.My whole load on vehicle will transfer from tires to the upright through this bearing.so I want apply load on this bearing mounting so how can i do this.

The post above is marked as Is Solution. Does that mean you no longer need any input on this model?

[SumitPatil]

No by I need the solution for it by mistake I marked it as solved bit I haven't got any solution for it.

Please help me to solve this problem

[peteroznewman]

I understand you have a bearing face you want to apply a force to.

What else attaches to that part? Please show that part in context of adjacent connecting parts. Somewhere there is ground. What is the path to ground?

[SumitPatil]

My upright is attached to the hub which is further attached to tire now my forces on tire will distribute in the upright through this bearing seat

[peteroznewman]

Please insert images with the load path through that part.

I have two  bearings  here on this upright which are connected to hub which is connected to my tire,my upright is staionary.hub is rotating over this bearing.My forces from tire are transferred through this bearing.

I have a brake  calliper connected via bolts at this two marked holes.my calliper is connected to rotor which is rotating.calliper is stationary. I have not imported the geometry of calliper as it is a different part so how can show that there is a connection by using 'joints'. cause in joints i have to specify stationary and mobile surfaces.

I have a upper controlling arm connected to upright using ball joint at the top face similarly a lower control arm at the bottom face.

So how can i show all these connections without importing whole assembly as I just want to analyse my this part??
