Description:

This script allows the user to easily create a cosine distribution bearing load.

 

Use Instructions:

A cylindrical coordinate system will be required at the center of the hole with the "r" direction (theta = 0) in the direction of the load desired (hence cos(0) = 1).

 

Requirements:

An open .modfem with a mesh around a hole, and a cylindrical coordinate system as described above.

 

Notes:

Currently, the script is in beta, but is included in the standard FEMAP API suite from engineeringtools.org.

Sample / practice files:

femap modfem

lug geometry parasolid
