Bearing interference fit
Hello everyone! Im in the proccess of setting up a static structural (ansys mechanical) for a suspension upright. I am using a remote force from the tire contact patch which is acting on the inside surface of the bearings' outer rings which in turn come in contact with their seats. The contact between them is frictional and because of this, the simulation never converges (it converged fine with bonded contact). I get warnings about rigid motion which i concluded it might stem from the bearing rings rotating in their seats. I thought that modelling the interference fit might solve this. So i created a simple pin-plate with hole interference fit model according to the video in the link and it worked fine. I followed the same steps for the upright but it stays at "1% preparing math model etc" and never converges. Does anyone have experience with modelling things like this? Thank you for your time!
