Description

Load for a visco-elastic translational/rotational bushing acting between two bodies.

It uses a full user-defined 6x6 matrix [K] to express the local stiffness of the bushing, assumed expressed in the bushing coordinate system attached to the second body. A user-defined 6x6 matrix [D] can be defined for damping, as well. Note that this assumes small rotations. Differently from the simpler ChLoadBodyBodyBushingMate and ChLoadBodyBodyBushingSpherical this can represent coupled effects, by using extra-diagonal terms in [K] and/or [D].
