• It is defined by three
characteristics: semi axes A , B
and phase y in a local
coordinate system (x, y, z)
where x is the rotation axis

Application to rotordynamics
• Geometry is
imported in Design
Modeler
• A part of the shaft
is redesigned with
parametric
dimensions
Initial 3D geometry
• Model is sliced to
be used with
Final axisymmetric model
axisymmetric
elements
• Bearing locations Additional disk
are defined
• A disc is added to
the geometry
Bearings location
• The model
is meshed
using the
WB meshing
tools
• Simulation is
Axisymmetric model
performed using an with boundary
APDL script that conditions
defines:
– Element types
– Bearings
– Boundary
conditions
– Solutions settings
(Qrdamp solver…)
– Post-processing
(Campbell plots
and extraction of
critical speeds)
Expanded view
Mesh transferred as
mesh200 elements,
converted to
solid272
Spring1 component
comes from named
selection
• A multi-
objective
optimization is
described and
possible
candidates are
found (usually,
there are
multiple
acceptable
configurations)
• Trade-off plots
give an
indication about
the achievable
performance
