Hello All,

 

As we all might be aware that rotor dynamics have been introduced with version 13.0 of Hyperworks.

I am new to the rotor dynamic analysis. i need some help/suggestions regarding the same. following are my queries regarding the same:-

  1. Is it possible to use rotor dynamic analysis for calculation misalignment of shafts
  2. Can we use the same in continuation to topology optimization?

thanks in advance

    Hi Sameer,

     

    The following are RotorDynamics OptiStruct features:

     

    •Dynamic response of structures with rotating components

    •Modal Frequency Response and Complex Eigenvalue Analyses.

    •Synchronous and Asynchronous Analyses

    •Output Data generation for the Campbell Diagram (Critical Speeds)

     

    2. could you please let us know what the objective and constraints of the optimization are?

    the objective is to minimize weighted compliance and volume fraction is the constraint
