Abstract (en)

Disclosed herein is a method for designing a roller cone drill bit, comprising simulating the bit drilling through an earth formation wherein the simulating comprises determining an axial force on a cutting element, based on a means for determining an axial force, determining an axial force on the roller cones, based on the axial forces on the cutting elements, and angularly rotating the bit; adjusting at least one design parameter of the bit; repeating the simulating the bit drilling; and comparing a distribution of axial forces among the roller cones prior to the adjusting the at least one design parameter with a distribution of axial forces among the roller cones after adjusting the at least one design parameter.
