CRANKSHAFT DYNAMICS

[raajdeev]

In which software can I analyse and simulate the cranshaft with modifications at the pulley end?
Actually I have removed the damper pulley and replaced with a new one which has some extra mass . I need to do analysis of the change it will cause in torsional vibration .
Please suggest...

Excel, matlab, mathcad, pen and paper, your brain, a slide rule, calculator are all feasible approaches.

Any linear FEA may help. GIGO applies.

That's not something you should just "play" with on some software. Give a consulting eng. company some of your money and get the job done right.
Or.. post some details here and we can give you an idea if you might be in some water.
