You can model predefined friction for the following connection types:
Predefined friction is also available if you define a combined translational and rotational connection type that is equivalent to one of these assembled types. You can define only one friction behavior for a given connection type if you are modeling predefined friction. If a predefined friction model is not available or does not adequately describe the mechanism being analyzed, you can specify a user-defined friction model (except in the case of the Slip Ring connection type, which does not allow a user-defined friction model). You must specify slip direction information, the friction-producing normal force or normal moment, and the friction law. You may use several connector friction behaviors to represent the frictional effects in the connector. For detailed instructions on defining friction, see Defining friction. For more information, see Connector friction behavior. |
