Numerical design analysis for components and systems
Purpose
To provide design solutions and understand the physics in components and systems through state-of-the-art numerical analysis techniques. This helps designers and users of rotating machinery to understand and evaluate system functionality and fitness for purpose.
Benefits
Numerical design analyses provide valuable insight into complex system behaviour and component interactions. This is important for component selection, design optimisation, as well as in failure analysis and damage investigations.
DNV's expertise and state-of-the-art technology provide a documented, safe and reliable design as well as valuable understanding of the components’ and systems’ operational limitations and capacities.
Features
The service is available to the maritime, offshore oil & gas and land-based industries. The following technologies are available:
Finite Element Analysis (FEA); prediction of static and dynamic responses in complex structures.
Shaft Alignment; calculation of optimised alignment and bearing loads for all operational conditions.
Vibrations in shafting system; calculation of natural frequencies and steady-state forced vibrations (torsional- vibrations, lateral/whirling- and axial vibrations.
Numerical simulations; simulation of transient dynamic responses and interactions between components in a system.
Scantlings and design verification; component calculations for verification and to ensur conformity with classification rules and other recognised standards.
