Cooperation PartnerS

Engineering Services as Team­work in my Network

According to customers‘ demands on engineering services I like to cooperate with exter­nal partners as part of a larger,  power­ful „ENGINEERING NET­WORK„.

Structural Analysis, FEM Studies

A major subject supported by one of my cooperation partners (like DAAMS GmbH) is the struc­tural mecha­nical analysis with modern FEM methods (FEM = „Finite Element Method“) in order to optimize fatigue strength and durability of mecha­nical compo­nents.

This helps to under­stand even complete and complex structures (e.g. the inter­action between drive systems and foun­dation via supports; see the anima­tion on this web site). A system eva­luation will be the result of such an over­all ana­lysis.

Extended Rotordynamic Analysis, Fluid-Film Bearing Studies

Advanced rotor­dynamic analyses (optionally in connection with a more detailed fluid-film bearing analysis) are carried out in close coopera­tion with my US partner RBTS, Inc., which was acquired by Concepts NREC (US) in January 2024. My cooperation will there­fore be further strengthened and expanded in the future.

More detailed informa­tion are on the special web site ROTOR­DYNAMICS (including ARMD Soft­ware Presen­tation). Please visit the annual engineering seminar on rotordynamics in close cooperation with RBTS / Concepts NREC.

Measurements, Field Tests, Machine Diagnosis, Condition Monitoring

Another important issue is the combina­tion of CAE analysis methods on the one hand and professional measurements and testings on the other hand. I prefer to cooperate with external partners in order to provide a „complete customer engineering service package“ which does not only include the simu­lation but also the machine diagnosis and field testings or even the installation of a complete condi­tion moni­toring system.

The model refine­ments or system optimization steps require a more detailed know­ledge of the real system behavior which we get from field testings world­wide, proto­type measure­ments, or test rig studies. This is an important additional service step as part of the complete VIRTUAL ENGINEERING process. Therefore, I cooperate with measure­ment specialists world­wide.

And in addition to this … I help promptly with CAE studies and me­asurements (in combi­na­tion) if an urgent trouble­shooting analysis (failure analysis) is required (including expert report on request). I can provide you with further infor­mation (references) on request.
