# Cylindrical support

> [HTML Version](cylindrical_support.html)

The cylindrical support allows to define a radial clearance over some widths and an axial clearance between two parts. It can be used to model a ring on or in a shaft. The constraint can be rigid or a stiffness can be defined. For the axial constraints a diameter can be defined so it also takes a moment load using a distributed axial stiffness. The cylindrical support should be defined in the inner shaft.
