Introduction
This section describes how to construct and access the element tree for Bushing Load features in Creo TOOLKIT. It also shows how to redefine, create and access the properties of these features.
The bushing loads in the model are represented under the Bushing Load node in the product mechanism tree. As the bushing load is a regular Creo Parametric feature, it also has an appropriate node in the main model tree. You can create, edit, and redefine the bushing loads. To create new bushing loads select a weld connection or a 6DOF connection. You must specify six stiffnesses and six damping coefficients for all the degrees of freedom of the reference connection. Each coefficient is associated with one feature parameter.

Note:
|
• The default units of the spring stiffnesses and the damping coefficients on the three rotational axes are degree-based.
• If bushing load reference is a weld connection, any axis can be locked. In this case the spring stiffness on the locked axis should have a value of -1.0, regardless of the current units.
