Modeling The inplice model maybe cad toca nore eppeal model. rad ‘Add equipment, buildings, or ‘secondary items that may ‘ther atfect the response of the structure or are located ‘nan area that is to be investigated. ‘Model compressor/engine slid. ‘Simulate compressor, ‘engine and shaft Connect compressor and engine joints to skid using ‘dummy elements. ‘Add loading for piping, ‘equipment, et. thats not Included in the model. Notes: Be sure to add joint at CG of any large items so that mass may be property located. ‘Use separate sao its for soromsarene sl Atach td ‘Stuctural framing using to elements wth moment releases on one end. Poston joints at CG of compressor and engine and at location of any couplings. ‘Be sure to offset shaft to proper position and assign releases at coupling so that only shear is transferred through - coupling. Feloase momen at the end of dummy clement connectng fo the slid ‘Loading may be placed in any load case, Engine Vibration Page - ¢Topic B. Overviow - Step 1. ‘Step 2. ‘Step 3. ‘Step 4. Dynamic Characteristics Dynpac is used to create ‘mode shape and mass files ‘aquired for subsequent dynamic analyses. Specity retained or master degrees of freedom in the toda toy are not eready Specty analysis options and load case options in the ‘model file Create Dynpac input fe. ‘Add joint weight at engine ‘and comeressor joints. Engine Vibration Page - 2 Retain all 6 degrees of reodom at compressor and engine CG. Only retain translation for joints away trom ‘compressor that are pat of primary framing. ‘Specity any load cases to be converted ta mass on the LCSEL line, Use 'SA-Z' option if user-defined loads «are to be converted to mass. ‘Don’ forget to include mass moment ot Inentias for any equipment modeled.Topic C. ‘Step 1. ‘Step 2. Stop 3. ‘Stop 4. Steps. Dynamic Response Input Engine vibration ‘options end mechanical data {is designated in the Dynamic Fesponse input fle, Determine the number of ‘modes required for the analysis. Determine damping for each mode. Determine analysis load ‘grouping. Enter gas torques as either cyclic tims history or as amplitude and phase angle. Enter mechanical unbalanced forces and ‘couples. Mechanical Lunbalances are normally entered as amplitude and Phase angle, In gonoral modes with wp fecrtice tho ghost nrg spot Should be considered. Modis below the highest running speed! Use approx. 2% damping while modes with frequency higher than the highost running speed use approx. 5% damping. Gas torque and mechanical unbalanced forces may be in the same load group ‘onl if phasing is known. Responses within a load group are phased together While the maximum responses from ‘multiple groups are added. Gas torque values vary with settings of ‘gas pockets, input pressure, output Pressure, eto. Use the highest value at ‘ven spaeds and linear interpolate at ‘other speeds. Mechanical unbalanced iorces at speeds other than the rated speed may ’be determined by multiplying the rated values by the square offre rato of the desired speed and the rated speed.
