Complicated rotor dynamic simulation with ANSYS/ABAQUS or Madyn 2000
Wed, 2009-07-29 10:44 - phamhuytuan
I have a system as in the Figure. There will have a radial load and a lateral load acting on the circumference of the drum which rotate at around 1000 rpm. I want to investigate the stability of the shaft at this speed. Can ANSYS or ABAQUS simulate this kind of dynamic simulation or is there any other software can solve my problem.
Thank you.

u can do it in ansys
Hi,
You can simulate that in ANSYS using the ANSYS's rotor dynamics modeling capability. First u need to work hard in understanding the basics as Rotor dynamics is comparably harder to simulate. But built-in elements are there in ansys for rotor dynamics modeling.
Thank you Chenna so much !

In my opion, to the comples
In my opion, to the comples problem, ABAQUS is better for you to do it.
Abaqus for rotor dynamic simulation
Do you have any suggestion for which module in Abaqus should be used for my problem ?
Thanks in advance

Rotor Dynamics and Abaqus
Can you please suggest me a simple running problem in Abaqus..
I can see the "rotor
I can see the "rotor dynamic" analysis capability of ANSYS 11.0. However, in the tutorial vm247, they use 3-D beam elements which are represented by 2 nodes, NOT a real 3-D structure. Since then how can I define the lateral load and radial load as in the Fig. 2
apply the loads on the nodes
Hi,
You can sort out this with smart modeling approasch. Create nodes at the locations where you need to apply loads.Connect them with shaft(beam)/bearing elements. Then apply loads at the corresponding nodal locations. While modeling you have to take one direction as Radial, one as Axial and other as Tangetianl. Say X-radial, Y-Axial, & Z-tangetial...So radial load means FX at the node, lateral load means FY at the node. Its as simple as that.
You can use Ansys Workbench:
Do you have access to Ansys Workbench. It could help you construct and simulate using 3D models.

Ansys Workbench limitation
To Vgn,
In Ansys Workbench, we can only define "cylindrical support" for "bearing connections" but cannot take into account for the bearing characteristics (spring contanst, damping) as in "rotor dynamic analysis" in ANSYS. It is regarded as an ideal connection there. Do you have any hint to solve this problem for Workbench ?
Snippets:
I am not familiar with your analysis, but I guess, you will be able to include a couple of lines of APDL script into the workbench for your purpose for defining the damping and stiffness parameters. If you read on the named selections, and then on the use of snippets in workbench, you could set your model as you wanted.

Madyn 2000 for rotordynamic simulation
I heard Madyn 2000 is a specific software for rotordynamic analysis. Does anybody know where can I find a Trial version of this program ?
Rotordynamics Vibration
Dear all
I am working on dynmaics and vibrational analysis of rotary equipments such as centrifugal pumps, Compressors and ...
I want to design and then investigate the stability of the rotary shafts, modal analysis , ...
pls guide me which of the softwares is better for this job?
(Ansys, Abaqus, Adams or Msc.Patran)
Sincerely Yours
