12.4.8.5. Bearing Friction Loss

Bearing is modeled as revolute joint or bushing force. In order to calculate the loss of the bearings, selected a rotational joint or bushing force. And then input the friction coefficient and radius of the bearing. Bearing Friction Loss does not appear to "Contour".
