Rotordynamics software
(OP)
Hello everyone, as you can tell by the title, i need some help on finding a good rotordynamics FEA software that I can use. I am currently working on a gas turbine project and I am responsible for all the vibrational analysis of the turbomachinery. I am using ANSYS for some of the rotordynamics analysis but I need to verify my results using an FEA software. I am currently using ROTORINSA but that only handles lateral vibrations (unless im mistaken).
I apologise in advance if there is another thread that covers the same topic.
Thanks

I sometimes use Comsol for similar situations.

I have done many verifications with Comsol Multiphysics, but whirl is not one of them.
The good thing about comsol is that you can add script or write the precise DE you need solved in a domain. So it is kind or customizable. And it is quite user friendly.
I suggest checking it out, or asking their tech support if they have precisely what you are looking for. They answer swiftly.
Sorry I can't help you more.

Solving rotor dynamics (whirling) require operating on non-symmetric matrices, which requires SW that can handle that. (I'm not that familier with ANSYS, so I couldnt tell if ANSYS has that option) It usually also implies non-linear damping.
