  Hi,
  The geared rotor is supported on the journal bearings on either side. I would like to estimate the expansion of gearwheel under various speeds.
  Is it ok to use cylindrical support as B.C (boundary condition) in the region of journal bearing?
  
  Thanks,
  Sudhakara

  Hi,
  You can try defining bearings: 9.12. Bearings (ansys.com)

  Hi,
  I have carried out the analysis with cylindrical supports – the expansion is 90 microns.
  The same analysis with journal bearing (with stiffness & damping properties ) gave 220 microns of expansion.
  I am not able to comprehend the deviation in results.
  Please clarify, which support is correct.

  Hi,
  Did you turn on the large deflection? If not then please try turning on the large deflection under analysis settings.
