Bearing load in the Generative Design workspace

A force of the specified magnitude applied to the selected cylindrical face or faces using the parabolic distribution.

This load may be applied to a full or partial cylindrical face. The cylindrical face may be either an external face or an internal face of for example hole. The bearing load applied to a full 360° cylindrical face is distributed on the half of the face, and the other half of the face is unloaded. The load distribution is maximal at the center of the force pattern and decreases as the bearing moves outwards in both directions.
