Wire race slewing bearings are a special type of bearings where rolling elements run over a race-shaped steel wire embedded into the rings. In contrast to conventional slewing bearings, no efficient FE modelling strategies have been proposed. In this sense, an analytical formulation to simulate the roller-wire-ring subset was developed in a previous work. In the present work, that formulation is implemented in a commercial FE software via user-defined matrix element, so that bearing assemblies can be analysed with huge computational cost savings and little convergence problems. As a drawback, a user-driven or iterative solving process is needed. As an alternative, a non-linear spring-based option is also presented, which overcomes this drawback at the cost of less accuracy.

钢丝圈回转支承是一种特殊的轴承，其中的滚动体在嵌入圈中的钢丝圈上滚动。与传统的回转支承相反，没有提出有效的有限元建模策略。从这个意义上讲，在先前的工作中已经开发出一种模拟公式来模拟滚丝-线-环子集。在当前工作中，该公式化是通过用户定义的矩阵元素在商用有限元分析软件中实现的，因此可以分析轴承组件，并节省大量计算成本，并且几乎没有收敛问题。作为缺点，需要用户驱动的或迭代的求解过程。作为替代方案，还提出了一种基于非线性弹簧的选件，该选件以较低的精度为代价克服了这一缺点。
