Does anyone have a good methodology to model or simulate thecorrect way the load is distributed on a journal bearing? Contactreally is not a good way to do it as it assumes the load istransmitted through the very localized contact point where thesmaller diameter shaft is touching the larger diameter bearingbore. Contact would be good for a pin/clevis style joint. In ajournal bearing, the shaft is supportted on a film of oil whichdistributes the load rather than ceating a small contactload.SolidworksSimulation
