Information

Hinge Support - Pinned Non-drive End

This class contains components that act as support to a beam. Depending on the settings of the parameters, the support will act as pinned (hinged) or pinned-free (roller) support. The default setting is a pinned support with a free position in the axial direction (z axis).

 

Figure 1: Pinned supports [1].

Preceding are two images showing the difference in setting the axialFixed = true (left) or false (right).

This component acts as the non-drive end because the condition of the initial revolute angle (revolute.phi) is set to fixed = false. In its counter-class, PinnedDriveEnd, the initial revolute angle is set to fixed = true. This means that the drive end will set the initial condition for the components connected to it, while the non-drive end will follow.

Parameters:

  • useFlangeSupport = Set to true if the support should be connected to en external flange
  • axialFixed = Set to true if the support should act as only a pinned support; set to false if the support should act as a pinned-free support. If set to true, the following parameters will be relevant: 
    • AxialPosition = Defines the axial position (z axis) of the fixed point the beam is connected to
    • HorizontalPosition = Defines the horizontal position (x axis) of the fixed point the beam is connected to
    • VerticalPosition = Defines the vertical position (y axis) of the fixed point the beam is connected to
  • shaftConnection = Set to true if a rotating shaft flange should be connected to flange b

Parameters (8)

useFlangeSupport

Value: false

Type: Boolean

Description: = true, if there is a need to connect to an external flange support

Value: false

Type: Boolean

Description: = true, if a fixed axial position in z direction should be set. To avoid built-in axial stresses, driving end should normally be fixed

shaftConnection

Value: false

Type: Boolean

Description: = true, if a rotating shaft flange will be used. I.e. a connection to flange b

angle

Value: 0

Type: Angle_deg (°)

Description: Initial torsional rotation

torsionalDampingConstant

Value: 0

Type: RotationalDampingConstant (N⋅m⋅s/rad)

Description: Damping constant

axialPosition

Value: 0

Type: Length (m)

Description: Axial position in z direction

horisontalPosition

Value: 0

Type: Length (m)

Description: Horisontal position in x direction

verticalPosition

Value: 0

Type: Length (m)

Description: Vertical position in y direction
