The rationale of ShaftDesigner was that further development was needed in the field of alignment software. Three main problems in current software were identified. The first is the lack of a single shaft model to perform all types of shaft related calculations. Up to now separate software with different data models for alignment and for each type of vibration has been used. The second problem is the inability to analyse different operating conditions from ballast to laden, cold and warm engine and different states from uncoupled shaft, to fully assembled propulsion trains. The user has always been forced to manage and maintain many files to achieve solutions in different states. Finally there was a substantial disparity between modern knowledge in the propulsion train domain and the capabilities of software in use.
ShaftDesigner offers the solution to these issues. The software includes calculations to determine shaft alignment, whirling vibrations, bending vibrations, axial vibrations, torsional vibrations as well as coupled vibrations. Not only is it the first time that some of these calculations are available in software, in ShaftDesigner they are all integrated in one single software package. One of ShaftDesigners main strengths though, is the way it performs all these calculations from one single, graphically oriented base model. Once this base model has been created, any changes at any time are automatically incorporated in all applications and can be checked visually with the 3D representation, minimizing the chance of human entry errors. Also, in ShaftDesigner it is possible to model propulsion trains containing multiple shaft lines, engines, gearboxes and other components.
