Bearing Load

Loads a bore the way a pin would: a normal pressure that varies as cos θ over the half of the selected faces facing against the load, scaled so it adds up to the given vector. Only the first surface out from the bore's axis is pressed: a wall that lies behind it, such as a hollow part's inner wall, takes none of the load. The axis comes from the selected faces themselves. Needs a Faces selection.

Inputs

Faces Face Set

Where the condition acts: a selection from Faces in Solid. Its Solid, entity kind and tolerance decide which part of the domain is affected. Required.

Takes: Faces in Solid
Vector Vector

Total bearing load in N; its direction picks the loaded half of the bore.

Frame Frame

Optional frame whose axes the vector's components are given in. Unwired: the global X, Y and Z axes.

Takes: Curve Frame, Frame, Offset Plane, Point-Normal Plane

Output

Boundary Condition

Used by: Reaction Force

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Position Point

The point this load or Support is attached to.
