It works perfectly, you have to add path to connect all those functions to your MATLAB directory. For me it worked with MATLAB 7.1.

I would forget about ansys for this type of analysis if you are not experienced user, instead of it i could recommend you this> http://www.cambridge.org/aus/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521191333&resISBN13=9780521191333&parent=9281&ss=res here you can find very good and very...

It worked, I've got pretty close results in comparision with other rotordynamics solvers, and in reasonable limits whit analytical results I've calculated whit much simplified geometry. The real thing is to have real stifness characteristics of foundations on which shaft lies, something that...

Solid elements that you mentioned earlier (226,227,185,186,272,273) do not have 6 DOF's, they have 3 (3 translations + some specials, but no rotations)!?

I tried but couldn't workout this instructions that you gave. When you say bearing nodes (nodes on the bearing line etc.) do you mean nodes on the shaft model which corespond ,by an axial coordinate, to actual bearing location. I'm uploading a little picture to be clear. I don't get it, if i put...

Thank you very much for such a quick response. I don't use Ansys,for now, but was trying to help a colleague and already had some similar ideas how to do this analysis, I'm going to try this little instructions of yours, to see how it all works out. You sir are a living example of how internet...

hey everybody I was wondering, how do you place bearing (well spring element) and/or mass if you have hollow section of a shaft (how can it be properly connected). If you use some, no density, low Young modulus, material for an element that will fill the hollow part, so that could have...
