Define stationary nodes for CBEAR elements
Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Simulation Object Type list→Rotor Dynamics Definition .
In the Rotor Dynamics Definition dialog box, next to Rotor 1, click Create Region .
In the Region dialog box, in the Bearing End Objects (ROTORB) group, next to Select Object, click Bearing End Objects (ROTORB) . In the graphics window, select the nodes that represent the stationary portion of the bearing supports for rotor 1.
In the Region dialog box, click OK.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for other rotors that have bearing supports.
In the Rotor Dynamics Definition dialog box, click OK.
