Rolling bearings are used in countless assemblies to support shafts. Often these are purchased parts, which for economic reasons can only be simulated in a very simplified way in the simulation process. With Rolling Bearing inside Ansys you can integrate high-precision bearings into your overall simulation within seconds – without expert knowledge.
Utilize post-processing tools to analyze stress, strain, and displacement across the model, leveraging visualization techniques such as vector plots, streamline plots, and color-coded contour plots to understand the flow of forces. Focus on identifying force distributions and paths through critical components, joints, and supports for a comprehensive evaluation.
Simulating rolling bearings accurately can be challenging, especially without expert knowledge, as bearings involve complex interactions between rolling elements, the inner and outer raceways, lubrication, and load distribution. Here’s a guide to help you set up a basic rolling bearing simulation with common software like ANSYS or similar tools, focusing on simplifying the model to capture essential behaviors.
