gyroscopic effect for simulation of rotordynamics

Hi, 

 

does MotionSolve respect gyroscopic effect/terms? I need to simulate rotating systems, therefore i need to know how gyroscopic effects are considered. By the way, in the online documentation there is nothing about it, except for OptiStruct. There's the keyword/option RGYRO for gyroscopic effects.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi LoHo,

     

    I think the gyroscopic effects will be considered by default if you have a better problem definition.

    Hi Prakash Pagadala,

     

    what do you mean with 'better problem definition'?

    LoHo,

     

    correct mass, inertia, CG location, etc.. They are the key for any Motion simulation.

    Totally agree with you Prakash,

     

    but i want to know whether the gyroscopic equation (angular momentum) is considered or not.
