-
Linear finite element analysis (FEA) of shafts
using line (Euler Beam) elements.
-
Easily define stepped shaft profiles.
-
Element masses modeled as continuous, distributed
masses rather than lumped masses.
- Disk objects: can be assigned perimeter force loads and
mass.
-
Pinned and sliding
connections.
-
Thermal
expansion/contraction analysis
-
Minimum 6 DOF per
node
- Automatic node assignments. Nodes will be displayed
automatically
- Store material library files for future use.
- Multi-plane loading
- Concentrated force & moment/torque loads - either static or
harmonic
- Distributed force & moment/torque loads - either static or harmonic
- Summary report generation
- Linear and angular deflections, overall displacements, force
& moment reactions, normal & shear stresses, maximum principal
stress & strain, Von Mises stress, St Venant, strain energy
density, Tresca.
- Frequency response
- View results as interactive graphs
- Editing commands: change shaft profiles in place, move &
rotate.
- US or SI units with automatic
conversion
- Operating System: Windows NT,
2000 & XP
