Current developments in hardware and, above all, in software tools make it possible to simulate increasingly complex models with an increasing level of detailing. The design of complete systems requires a good knowledge and understanding of the individual components and their interactions.
Depending on the key perspectives involved in the simulation, it is appropriate to allow the selection and definition of the degree of detail in the complete model and the subsystems. At Schaeffler, work has been carried out for years in order to develop and apply rolling bearing models and calculation tools such as Bearinx.
