How can a user define friction for a Bushing Connection in NX Motion?
Solution
Options to model friction for a Bushing Connection:
A. A cylindrical joint will allow the definition of friction via commonly
known parameters, but a joint doesn't allow for compliance as does a bushing.
If defining compliance is also required, then the bushing's stiffness
coefficients have to model the friction. Functions will be needed and those
will not be necessarily easy to define.
B. The Damping component could be a form of friction, basically a force or
torque proportional to velocity. If users need something more than this, it
can get complicated, as is recommended in A.
