I,m new at this discussion forum and I really hope that you can give me some good advices.
My problem is that I want to build a model of a rotating shaft with a fixed and a rotating bearing, WITHOUT using the multibody Dynamics Interface. The shaft is moved by a step function of a torsional moment located on the left side. After a certain period of time the shaft has to be slowed down by another torque (on the opposite side of the shaft).
Now my questions...
Does anybody know how I can realise the bearings?
How is it possible to define a surface of the shaft where the second torque operates?
Furthermore...how can I prescribe the frictional coefficient of my "self made" constructed bearings?
The bearings are built out of spring Forces.
I,m deeply grateful for any tips!!!
Thanks so far
Daniel
