Engineering Service: Vibration Analysis, Simulation, Consultancy / (c) Laschet Consulting

Overview of Engineering Services

Vibration Analysis, Simulation, Consultancy, Customer Training + Seminars

The ENGINEERING activities as supported by Laschet Consulting cover extensive CAE analyses (CAE = Computer Aided Engineering) to provide calculations (computations) and analyses in order to determine the dynamic behavior of drive systems in rotating machinery and vehicles. These CAE services are supported by suitable simulation software tools („Virtual Engineering“).

Our major CAE analyses are dedicated to the following studies:

TORSIONAL VIBRATION ANALYSIS of complete drive systems
LATERAL + FLEXURAL VIBRATION ANALYSIS (ROTORDYNAMIC ANALYSIS) of shaft systems

Such jobs can be done very quickly in smaller projects but also as part of comprehensive studies within R&D or virtual engineering projects – always according to customer requirements:

CAE model generation of complete drivelines (generating digital computer models supported by powerful software tools: ARLA-SIMUL, ITI-SIM, SimulationX, ARMD)
CAE analysis (simulation) including evaluations
working out alternative system configurations (driveline matching)
trouble shooting (in case of failures), root cause analysis (RCA), support of machine diagnosis, expert reports
summary of improvement activities, parameter studies, optimizations
interpretation, overall evaluation, and documentation of the results
including testing methods, and measurement results as part of the final evaluation
technical report in English (or German) language (also as a brief report)
further customer consulting (on site or via online meetings or video conferences supported by WebEx)
customized trainings, or general training courses, or our annual international engineering seminars

Application Areas

Mechanical + Plant Engineering, Automotive, Shipbuilding, Aviation + Aerospace

Based on considerable experiences for more than 40 years many jobs could be realized with great success as part of a virtual product development process. See the following reference examples taken from the drive technology:

all types of compressors:
turbo/centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, screw compressors
according to API 617, 618, 619

Engineering Service as a Teamwork

In many CAE projects a professional teamwork of specialists is crucial. That is why Laschet Consulting cooperates with external engineering & measurement partners; go to our special site “Cooperation Partner” for more details.
