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

Overview of Engineering Services (Driveline Engineering)

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 (ROTOR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS) of shaft systems

Such jobs can be done very quickly in smaller projects but also as part of com­prehensive CAE studies within R&D or virtual engineer­ing projects – always according to customer require­ments. Confidentiality agreements are, of course, strictly observed.

  • 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)
  • trouble­shooting (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 (video-audio-conferences)
  • customized trainings, or general training courses, or our annual international engineering seminars
  • worldwide engineering service using online communications

Application Areas

Industrial 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.

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.
