Bushing (hwx.inspire)#

class Bushing(primaryFeatures, secondaryFeatures=[], location=None, **kwds)#

Bases: FeaturesConnector

Create connections with multidirectional stiffness and mass properties between 2 set of surfaces between 2 parts. This helps capture the physics and more accurately correlate results within an assembly.

# Create Bushing
