3. Toolbox tutorial

fe_rotor module can use 2 different frames to describe rotating effects (rotating frame and fixed frame). Rotors can also be describes at 3 levels of modelization : 1d, 2d or 3d.

The next section illustrates meshing capabilities, supported computations are described next

• Frequency domain analyses (section 3.4) : Campbell diagram building, Direct computation of critical speeds, response to unbalanced mass, asynchronous load, and harmonic loads on bearings.
• Time domain simulation accounting for non-linear bearings is under development (these are performed with the shaft in a rotating frame and the stator fixed).
