7 Introduction 1.Introduction 2.1D Model 3.2D Model 4.3D Model Introduction One or several flexible rotors can be modeled with different rotational speeds and a free orientation in space. Three kinds of rotor are available: - The 1D model: rotors are modeled using beams, springs and lumped mass elements. - The Fourier model: rotors are modeled using 2D Fourier multi-harmonic elements. - The 3-D model: quasi-axi-symmetrical rotors are described by volume elements (hexahedra, prisms or tetrahedral) or shell elements. These three can be mixed This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 7
8 Introduction 1.Introduction 2.1D Model 3.2D Model 4.3D Model 1D model The 1D model: rotors are modeled using beams, springs and lumped mass elements. The geometrical support: straight lines defined by edges, wires and vertices. Beam elements have circular or hollow circular cross sections for analysis in a no rotating frame elements are isotropic about the rotor axis Isotropic springs are used to model parts where the beam model is no longer valid as conical parts. Advantages/Disadvantages: This kind of model is the most classical one and is very useful in the preliminary design phase of machines such as aircraft engines, turbo-pumps, etc... but it is not always adequate for a detailed analysis of such structures. It leads to good approximations of the first eigen-frequencies and critical speeds of the system as well as of reactions at the bearings level, but it is not very convenient to obtain local information such as an accurate description of the dynamic stresses in the shaft. This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 8
9 Introduction 1.Introduction 2.1D Model 3.2D Model 4.3D Model 2D model The Fourier model: rotors are modeled using 2D Fourier multi-harmonic elements. For rotor dynamics application, harmonics with 0 and 1 diameter are taken into account in order to describe axial deformation, torsion and bending with gyroscopic coupling The geometrical support for volume model: faces. The geometrical support for shell model: edge, wire The 2-D model has to be localized in a structural plane X-Y, Y-Z or X-Z. Advantages/Disadvantages: This model allows the development of finer of a large class of rotating equipments. It is very appropriate for the modeling of axial machines with high number of blades. It also allows a better modeling of conical shafts. This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 9
10 Introduction 1.Introduction 2.1D Model 3.2D Model 4.3D Model 3D model The 3-D model where quasi-axi-symmetrical rotors are described by elements (hexahedra, prisms or tetrahedral) or shell elements The geometrical support for volume model: solids. Advantages/Disadvantages: Using this 3D approach, we can of course analyze general, in particular non axisymmetric, but keeping in mind that the basic assumption in SAMCEF for Rotors is precisely that the rotating system is axi-symmetric; thus, this major assumption might be more or less violated depending on the degree of axisymmetry of the structure; a disk with 60 blades for instance is almost axisymmetric so that the SAMCEF for Rotors predicted results will still be acceptable, but in case of a wind turbine rotor, made of 3 blades only, you are then pretty far away from axi-symmetric conditions and the results are to be interpreted accordingly.

Vertices have to be defined where rotor cross sections are changing, at centers of mass of rigid disks or at boundaries of springs. The rotor axis orientation is free. The shaft line is made of one or several wires. Each wire is made of one or several edges.

17 1D Models: Beam-Springs- 2.Beam definition 3.Springs 4. 5.Rotors & rotation speed 6.Material 7.Damping 8.Mesh are used to model rigid disks. The moments of inertia are defined in a system of axes linked to the lumped inertia where the Z axis is the symmetry axis. The frame button allows the definition of the X and Y inertia axes orientation in the structural system of axes. The moment of inertia about X and Y inertia axes have to be identical. If the user selects the option rotor, the rotation speed of the lumped inertia corresponds to the rotation speed to the associated rotor and the system of axes linked to the lumped inertia is automatically computed then : -Tensor 11 and 22 of mass inertia correspond to the diametral moment of inertia -Tensor 33 correspond to the polar moment of inertia The geometrical support is a vertex.

18 1D Models: Beam-Springs- 2.Beam definition 3.Springs 4. 5.Rotors & rotation speed 6.Material 7.Damping 8.Mesh Rotors and rotation speed With 1D, it is better to define the rotor either immediately on the geometrical support (wires, set of edges) or at least before the definition of lumped inertia and springs. It is then possible to assign lumped inertia or springs to existing rotors. When the geometrical support is made of several edges or wires, their orientation has to be identical in order to have a correct definition of the rotor axis. The rotor is spinning in the direct manner about an axis going from the first vertex to the second vertex defining an edge or a wire of the 1D model. With 1D model, the axis of rotation is the line of the geometrical model. It is possible to explicitly define a rotor number.

The reduction process is based on Craig and Bampton technique. It is first necessary to define the boundary of the super-elements. These boundaries correspond to locations where the super-element will be connected with other joints, where results are directly expected or where loads will be applied. As the reduction technique introduces approximation in the model, it is necessary to add a set of internal normal modes. These modes will improve the dynamic behavior of the reduced model in a given range of frequencies. The selected analysis type from the Analysis Driver has to be Super Element Creation.

But If necessary, the boundary can be defined after meshing of the rotor model and the support can be a set of Fourier nodes. For 2D Fourier, the geometrical support of the boundary either will be an edge or some vertices. It is possible to activate an idealization of the boundary when for example, an edge corresponding to a joint working length is chosen. It is possible to obtain as final boundary node, a 3D node located on the symmetry axis and linked with the Fourier model. When the Center Node option is chosen, the boundary node is one single 3D node on the axis whose displacements and rotations are the mean displacements and rotations of the Fourier nodes on the selected geometrical support, an edge in our example.

It can be edited in order to assign a rotationalspeed as well as a rotor number to the superelement. Damping If no damping matrix has been reduced when generating the super-element, it is possible to define proportional damping after import of the super-element. The damping is defined with the rotation speed. This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 60

62 Parts 1.Introduction 2.Rotation speed Introduction When dealing with multiple rotors systems and when the of each separate rotor are available, an interesting way is to use the part concept. The idea is to import the existing as parts and to perform the assembly. A part is an existing model with its geometry, the analysis data and the FE mesh. The parts can be used: either to gather different, or to create a repetitive model. Practically it s a.sfield file, imported in a new document as a part. This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 62
63 Parts Introduction (2) 1.Introduction 2.Rotation speed Any imported part is gathered in a specific directory. Each imported part keeps its own data tree. On each imported part, the following operations can be performed: Copy /Paste Read only setting or unsetting Editing after activation as current part Positioning (placement, translation, rotation, mirror symmetry) Duplication A model can simultaneously be composed of parts and of geometrical objects included in the main data tree. This document is the property of SAMTECH S.A. MEF A, Page 63
