Create connection elements between coincident nodes with CBEAR2 elements

Two coincident nodes are required to define a connection for each bearing.

• The first coincident node is associated with the stationary portion of the model.

• The second coincident node is associated with the rotating portion of the model.

1. Choose Home tab→Connections group→1D Connection .

2. In the 1D Connection dialog box, in the Connection Element group, select CBEAR2 from the list.

3. In the Type group, from the list, select Node to Node.

4. In the Source group, click Node and in the graphics window, select the first coincident node as the source node.

5. In the Target group, click Node and in the graphics window, select the second coincident node as the target node.

6. Click OK.
