Use the AM:Calculations tab to set preferences for finite element analysis (FEA), bearing calculations, and shaft calculations.
|
FEA |
||
|
FEA - Layer Group for FEA Task Sets the layer group for the Finite Element Analysis. The default setting is the layer group AM_FEA. You can specify any other layer group to use for the FEA. |
||
|
FEA - Scale Factor for Symbols Sets the scale factor for symbols associated with the FEA calculation. This factor affects the size in which a symbol appears in the drawing, but not the load value associated with it. |
||
|
Create Output File Automatically Saves the results of the FEA calculation to a .txt file. The name of the file is the name of the drawing where the FEA routine is being used. |
||
|
Colors Sets colors for the representation of Isolines and Isoareas. You can select from 12 (VGA graphics driver) or 24 (Super VGA graphics driver) colors. To change preset colors, click the corresponding color field, and select a new color from the color palette. |
||
|
Set Default Colors Sets colors for the representation of Isolines and Isoareas to the default colors. |
||
|
Bearing |
||
|
Calculation Mode Defines the standard for the calculation. |
||
|
Force Unit Defines the unit of force for the bearing calculation. |
||
|
Length Unit Defines the length unit to be used for the bearing calculation. |
||
|
Life Adjustment Factor |
||
|
Reliability Specifies a factor for the reliability of the bearing. |
||
|
Material Factor a2 Specifies a factor for the material. |
||
|
Operator Factor a3 Specifies a factor for operation conditions. |

Default Automatically determines the number of segments for the ideal representation of the cone section and fillet. |
||
|
Number of Segments to Determines the number of segments for the representation of the cone section and fillet. |
||
|
Resultant Curve Resolution |
||
|
Default Automatically determines the number of segments for the representation of the resultant curve. |
||
|
Number of Segments to Determines the number of segments for the representation of the resultant curve. |
