Rotordynamics

Engineering Service + ARMD Software

• Torsional Vibrations

• Flexural Vibrations

• Lateral Vibrations

• Fluid-Film Bearings

• Rolling Element Bearings

ROTORDYNAMIC SIMULATIONS (i.e. analysis of flexural and lateral vibrations including bearing influence) are another subject area as part of the engi­neering service. These CAE studies include the calcu­lation of critical speeds and acceptable operating conditions while consider­ing the shaft design and above all the charac­teristics of the ball, roller bearings, or the fluid-film bearings, respectively. The analysis also in­cludes the study of tor­sional vibra­tions as an option.

Starting with smaller studies, which can be realized in a short time, you can „upgrade“ the engi­neering service step by step even up to a complete study, design and configu­ration of complex fluid-film bearings (journal, conical, thrust, tilting-pad bearings).

Laschet Consulting is official cooperation partner of RBTS, Inc. (U.S.A.) (www.rbts.com). We provide software and engineering support in close cooperation with RBTS – usually realized in efficient WebEx meetings.

Advanced Rotating Machinery Dynamics – Software ARMD V6.1

The simulation software „ARMD“ designed by RBTS is a very powerful CAE tool which is distributed and supported in Germany and Europe by Laschet Consulting.

Non-binding LIVE presentations can be arranged individually supported by an online meeting via Cisco Webex. There is also an option to download a „demonstration version“ of ARMD for free – just to get a better „look & like“ feeling. Please contact us for the download link.

The ARMD software packages/modules and software structure:

International Rotordynamics Seminars … more than 15 Years

We would like to inform you on the next International Rotordynamics Seminar & Short Course (ONLINE & LIVE event). This seminar is an offer in close co­opera­tion with our partner RBTS  – and it is unique in Europe and well accept­ed by many inter­national atten­dees for more than 15 years.

Please visit our special seminar site for detailed infor­mation on the next semi­nar in Cologne including online registration: Information on our next INTERNATIONAL ROTORDYNAMICS SEMINAR

ARMD Training Courses – Online Training via Cisco Webex

In close cooperation with our partner RBTS we offer an Online ARMD Training Course (via Cisco Webex) any time (language: ENGLISH; duration: usually 8 hours in total). Such a course is offered dedi­cated to one of the ARMD packages the customer ordered (ROTLAT, TORSION, BEARINGS). The course is usually structured in two parts on two sub­sequent days directly pre­sented by RBTS (U.S.A.).

Independent of a software training course we also offer a custom-tailored engineering service concerning your current project. Please send us your inquiry (submission of your inquiry).
