Information

What is the Rotating Machinery library?

The Rotating Machinery library provides engineers and designers with an extensive range of modeling capabilities, enabling the simulation and analysis of a diverse selection of essential machinery types - including motors, generators, pumps, fans, and turbines.

In addition to offering an array of pre-configured sophisticated models for bearings, gears, shafts, disks, and supports, each is customizable to meet specific requirements with key parameters.

How does it work?

The compatible components of the MSL Multibody library can be easily integrated into models, making it an ideal choice for simulating complex mechanical systems.

The library includes an Introduction section that provides a short overview of the library's contents. Furthermore, the process of setting up models using the library is guided by detailed instructions contained in the Getting Started section, providing the necessary information to run the first example as quickly as possible.

A wide range of simulated machinery is included in the Examples package, which can be used as reference points for simulations or to test out different configurations and settings, allowing exploration of the full range of possibilities offered by the MSL Multibody library.

Limitations

In the Rotating Machinery library, the shaft component's length direction is fixed to {0,0,1}, which corresponds to the z-direction. To build a machinery with perpendicular shafts, the component fixedRotation from MultiBody library needs to be used.
