MADYN 2000 has powerful analytical capabilities:

  • Static analyses: Force, gear, weight loads, misalignment (the journal position in fluid film bearings and rolling element bearings can be considered), alignment optimization
  • Damped eigenvalues
  • Harmonic response to unbalance, forces (axial, lateral) and moments (bending torsion), base excitation, bent shafts, coupling offsets. The reponse can be calculated to syncronous excitations as well as non-synchronous excitations such as integer and non-integer harmonics.
  • Balancing with measured data by means of calculated influence numbers
  • Transient response to forces and moments, base excitation; torques can be defined as a function of speed and speeds as a function of time for run up / down simulations. Nonlinear fluid film bearings, rolling element bearings, couplings and general user defined non-linearities can be considered.
  • Parameter Variation: Undamped critical speed map, Campbell diagram, bearing stiffness and damping variation, coupling stiffness variation, general parameter variation for the variation of any parameter of an object
  • Hot spot stability analysis
  • Optimizations (currently alignment optimization of shaft trains considering the oil film and magnetic bearing controller optimization are implemented)
