The magnetic bearing features within MADYN 2000 are:

• Design of controllers in the frequency domain with defined, practically proven controller building blocks (analogue as well as digital)
• Modelling of synchronous bearing characteristics (e.g. unbalance force rejection controls)
• Modelling of sensors and actuators for any position
• Arbitrary combination of sensors and actuators to model tilting translation control for separate controls of tilting and parallel modes or general MIMO controllers
• Control design by a combination of proven filters
• Support and assessment of controller designs by means of contrallability / observability tables, sensitivity plots according to ISO 14839-3 and Nyquist plots
• Optimization of controller parameters
• Support of control design in MATLAB ®: Export of modally reduces models as state space matrices, import of state space comntrollers
