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
