radial nonuniform pressure distribution

Larry Howard Sep 2, 2011 6:20 PM

Has anyone set up a nonuniform pressure distribution radially from the center of a disc out to the circumference?

I'm actually wondering about the exact same thing. The nonuniform option requires a coordinate system and we can only define a cartesian one.

  Tony,
  
  I've sent this question to our reseller as well but have not heard back.
  
  Regards,
  Larry

    In this case I am the reseller ;-) I did create a SR and was told that the only way to do it is by sectioning the disc and applying loads on each face, which is not a very good solution.
    
    However, on Twitter I got an interesting answer from CAPINC's Technical Manager (@mplafleche). He suggested using a Bearing Load. I haven't had time to test this further yet, but will have a go at it. They will be addressing this question in their webcast btw: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/699575777
