Imposed Displacement in the Shape of a Ball Joint Bearing in Simulation

Simulation

Hello

I am looking for the best way to model in the imposed displacements part of the SW simulation module of ball bearings, such as to calculate a shaft mounted on two self-aligning ball bearings.

The best would be to be able to block the displacement in the 3 axes of the center of the ball joint of one bearing, and to leave the displacement according to the shaft axis free for the other bearing.

For both bearings, the rotations along all axes must be free so that the shaft can take its deflection freely

If you have a solution, thank you in advance.

Hello

There are bearing connectors that exist under Cosmosworks. This corresponds more or less to a plain bearing and therefore will probably not be adapted to your needs.

I feel that you will have to draw a piece of sphere on one side at least if you want to block only the center (imposed displacement / on spherical faces).

Hello

Totally agree @froussel, also feasible with contact components  without penetration,
