title	General Loading Information

Forces in negative X will act on the protruded section of the upright where the spindle sits, and positive X acts on the recess where the spindle sits behind the upright, shown below

Image Added

Forces in Y and Z will act on the face of the dummy spindle that faces the UPRIGHT MODEL’S +z axis

Image Added

Moments act on the same face of the spindle that the y and z forces act on, but its important to have them act about the correct axis of the VEHICLE MODEL, where the x axis and z axis of the UPRIGHT MODEL are wrong (for some reason)

Interactions

Assembly consists of:

Upright

Upper upright bearing cap (from FSU)

Lower upright bearing cap (from FSU)

Dummy bearing housing (1 in upper and 1 in lower)(part made from GEH 12 C)

Dummy bolts (6 in upper & 6 in lower) (part made for simulation)

Component Interactions

Global interactions set to contact.

Local Interactions

Bolts and Bearing Caps
