Rotordynamic Analysis (RDA)
At Epsilon, we have decades of experience providing rotordynamic analyses, from single components on a shaft spanning two bearings, to full complexity of multi-shaft turbine engine rotating groups. Don’t wait until testing phase to discover resonance and instability in your rotating components! We can help you cost-effectively select a balance grade, size your bearings, and shafts to avoid costly failures from unforeseen rotordynamic mode failures. Our ANSYS rotordynamic tools surpass those of 1D programs like Dyrobes and XLRotor, by including full 2D and 3D capability when warranted.
If you have a project requiring rotordynamic evaluation or think that it might, contact us and see if our partnership will be the right fit.
