    Fields

    Name Description
    SixDegreesOfFreedomAdvanced

    Each ball has six degrees of freedom, two displacements in the radial and bearing rotation axis directions, ball speed, angle of ball speed axis, orbit speed, and gyroscopic speed. The total available friction at the contact patches is calculated using a complex lubricant model that includes EHD effects, hydrodynamic rolling and pressure forces, and drag.

    SixDegreesOfFreedomCoulomb

    Each ball has six degrees of freedom, two displacements in the radial and bearing rotation axis directions, ball speed, angle of ball speed axis, orbit speed, and gyroscopic speed. The total available friction at the contact patches is given by a constant coefficient of friction.

    TwoDegreesOfFreedom

    Each ball has two degrees of freedom in its plane, parallel to the bearing axis of rotation, and the radial direction. All speeds calculated using either raceway control or geometrical assumptions. Results with this mode will be consistent with previous versions of MASTA.

    TwoDegreesOfFreedomInSixDOFFramework

    Each ball has two degrees of freedom in its plane, parallel to the bearing axis of rotation, and the radial direction. All speeds calculated using either raceway control or geometrical assumptions.
