For shafts with plain bearings, the bearing type ¡°Plain Bearing¡± can now be redefined. This is especially important for turbo drives, as it allows the shaft center dislocation during operation to be precisely taken into account (module WB3).
In KISSsoft¡¯s plain bearing calculation, the required values ¨C especially the displacement path, attitude angle, and stiffness ¨C are determined and can then be entered in the elements editor of the shaft.
In KISSsys, plain bearings can now be taken into account using a new template element provided for this purpose. This template element can be defined as both an individual element and as a connecting plain bearing. Thus, a communication of the relevant values between the shaft calculation and the plain hydrodynamic bearing calculation can be generated via KISSsys.
