SHAFT

Overview
SHAFT - design area
1 Selection of the MACHINE subset: SHAFT panel (Click on the icon SHAFT)
2 Visualization of the motor axial view to visualize the shaft topology and dimensions.
3

Choice of the shaft type. Two types are available:

  • None: No dimension to declare. The shaft is replaced by fluid material.
  • Solid: The end-shaft must be defined.If the shaft type is solid, topology and dimensions of the end-shaft must be defined.
Note: The connection side (C.S.) is identified by yellow lightning.
Note: The range of definition for dimensions is [0, 20000] mm.
4 Topology of the shaft must be defined:Solid, Solid with hollow, Solid with ring, Solid with hollow and ring
5 Shaft input data to be defined
6 If the shaft type is solid, the end-shaft must be defined. First indicate if the shaft is rotating or not
Note: Connection side (C.S.) is identified by yellow lightning
Note: Range of definition for dimensions: [0, 20000] mm.
7 Button to restore default input values.
8 Button to Apply inputs. Pressing the enter key twice applies inputs too.
9 Icon to export shaft data into *.txt or *.xls files.
