Vibration Analysis of an Electric Motor - Structural FEA in the Cloud

In this on-demand webinar, we introduce the easy-to-use and insightful structural analysis capabilities of SimScale. The webinar covers the vibration assessment of an electric motor support bracket to understand if its critical frequencies lie within the intended operating range. The goal of the analysis is to avoid bolt failure.
In addition to the vibration analysis, you will learn about how to perform a multidisciplinary analysis of the electric motor’s shaft and rotor under a torque load. The entire engineering simulation workflow is implemented via a web browser and performed in the cloud.
Our specialists show you how to set up and run the simulations covering all the necessary steps:
- Import a CAD model and preprocess it for simulation
- Efficient meshing of the geometry
- Setup the boundary conditions and run calculations in the cloud
- Post-process and visualize the simulation results

I don't know why amazing and excellent videos get less views!!

[@jaygaikwad8173]

Great video with very simple and intuitive analysis. Could help all FSAE electric teams.

By adding the stiffner are we not increasing the weight of component, which consequently should reduce the natural frequency, isn't it?

[@SimscaleSimulation]

Yes, the natural frequency is dependent on the weight of the part but also on the shape. So it's favorable in both ways regarding the lowest natural frequency.

Hi, how did you plot a graph? I'm doing harmonic analysis and I want to plot a graph for displacement-time, but I don't know how.

[@SimscaleSimulation]

You can create a result control item for the min-max, average, and sum displacement for a complete volume, a point, or a surface. This will plot the displacement over time. You can find more information on this here: www.simscale.com/docs/simulation-setup/result-control/#structural-analysis

@SimscaleSimulation I see, thank you. Also, how do you change a material behavior from linear elastic to hyper-elastic?

[@SimscaleSimulation]

@@hahahahkejdjdj3861 There is a "Materials Behavior" drop-down setting. Here is the documentation page on Materials: www.simscale.com/docs/simulation-setup/materials/ (you can also search for linear elastic and hyper-elastic for more information on those). The SimScale forum also has useful information: www.simscale.com/forum/
