The following figure shows the effect of preload and offset on a bushing:

Extended Definition

The bushing force for the Kth direction (x, y, z, ax, ay, az) is defined by a function:

extended_def7

 

Where:

extended_def

The displacement offset Qk and the displacement scale Hk modify the displacement and velocity to compute new inputs to function G as follows:

extended_def5

is the scaled, offset displacement.

extended_def6

is the scaled velocity.

So force is then computed using the modified inputs

extended_def6a

and

extended_def6b

:

extended_def7

 

Finally, the force/torque preload Pk and force/torque scale Vk modify the output so the force computation is:
