Version - 2014
This course covers:
- Rotordynamic analysis for coupled rotating and stationary components
- For example: Jet Engines, Turbines, Compressors, Energy Storage Devices
- How to setup and analyze structural models with one or more rotating components
- The types of analysis supported by the rotordynamics capability
- Static analysis
- Complex eigenvalue analysis (modal and direct)
- Frequency response (modal and direct) and nonlinear frequency response
- Transient response (direct linear and nonlinear)
- Damping effects and input methods for models with rotating components
- How to use Patran to create models and display results with animation or graphs
There are two sets of workshops for this course. One set uses Patran as the pre- and post-processor. The other directly edits the MSC Nastran input file.
Pre-requisites:
