1. Open an existing Femap model and
save it in your exercises folder

a) Open the file bearing_part 1.mod from
Training folder.
b) Save the file in your copy as ex10
bearing_part1.mod.
2. Create a new load set.
a) With the Model, Load, Create/Manage
Set command, create a new Load Set

titled Bearing. Press OK then Done.
