Dear all,
I have analyzed the Rotor design using both by Kinematic and Dynamic analysis. Before running the those analysis, i created the Degree of Freedom (DOF) measure. While both analysis the Rotor spins smoothly, for the given angular velocity, But if we see the DOF, It shows zero. Why its so?
The following connection used in the Rotor:
Shaft - Pin connection ; DOF =1 (Rotational)
Other parts mounted on the shaft are Rigid and weld connections; DOF = 0
Weld connection used to find the reaction forces
The measure shows:
DOF = 0
Redundancy =0
I think zero redundancy is ok, And its good to get accurate Reaction forces, But why DOF also become zero.
Can anyone tell me, DOF shown by the measure value is correct, Shall i proceed further.
Thanks,
CADfan
