Hi everyone, this is angelo. 

I have a problem in assigning some constraints on my part, I am working in Ansys workbench and mechanical. My part is a suspension triangle which has three holes, inside of which should be the bearings. So triangle with 3 cylindrical holes. Inside these I can't assign the "bearing loads" command where I have the clamping pressure of 34.35 MPa. 
And it shows me the error message as following image.
The other data are: 34 mm holes and 20 mm triangle thickness. So the data I have assigned is 23358 N.

Could anyone help me? 
Thanks

Hi Angelo,

Bearing load cannot be applied in the axial direction of holes. Try to correct the direction and then try running the model again.

Thanks,

Hello Akshay, thank you for answering.

At the beginning I selected the "bearing load" command and set 23358 N as the value in "vector". So now I should assign a new coordinate system (or even keeping the default one), choose the bearing load command and assign my value 23358 N , on the radial component (in my case y), correct?

 

Thank you again,
Angelo
