In this paper, a general numerical solution to the elastohydrodynamic point contact problem is presented for moderate loads and material parameters. Isobars, contours and regression formulae describe how pressure and oil film thickness vary with geometry, material properties, load, and squeeze velocity, when the rolling velocity vector is at various angles to the static contact ellipse long axis. In addition, the EHL behaviour under spin is examined. The theoretical predictions of film thickness compare favourably with other numerical solutions to the point contact problem, as well as with experimental results which use the optical interferometry method to find film thickness and
