(OP)
Can anyone please tell me:
1: what are the inputs required for carrying out analysis on clutch damper using Abaqus as solver
2: Brief explanation/procedure to determine the stiffness/damper properties of the clutch.

2. Find someone with a dynamic rig. Static stiffness is simple to measure, but damping and friction are harder to test with DIY equipment. And they are important.

RE: clutch damper
Thanks for your reply, but I am carrying out analysis on the damper itself,
I have the following data:
There is a power-end and generator shaft, they both are coupled using a friction damper.
The damper has bolt connection with the flywheel, and the damper is connected to the generator shaft.
The damper design is very similar to to the present/generic clutch damper.
Objective: To determine the stiffness/hysteresis of the clutch damper
Inputs Available:
ICE inertia moment
Generator rotor inertia moment
Generator rotor shaft stiffness
ICE torque vs crank angle.
Request for some heads-up in terms of the direction/approach to be followed to carry-out the analysis.
Thanks,
