Summary

Key Abaqus Features and Benefits

 Special rotordynamics loading to capture the
centrifugal load effects and load stiffness terms
associated with spinning bodies
 Connector elements for modeling the frequency
dependent stiffness and damping behavior of
rotor bearings
 Substructuring capabilities for improved compu-
tational efficiency
