FVA Workbench 10
FVA Workbench 10 is a specialized software environment for Fluid Film Bearing Analysis. It is an engineering tool used primarily by mechanical engineers, rotordynamicists, and bearing designers to model, simulate, and analyze the performance of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearings. Core Purpose: To predict the static and dynamic characteristics of fluid-lubricated bearings, which are critical components for the stability, vibration behavior, and longevity of rotating machinery like turbines, compressors, pumps, and generators. Key Modules & Analytical Capabilities: 1. Bearing Geometry Definition Pre-defined Bearing Types: Model standard geometries including plain cylindrical, lemon-bore, tilting-pad, and multi-lobe bearings. Advanced Custom Geometry: Define complex, non-standard bearing profiles with precise control over clearances, preloads, and pivot offsets. Thermal Modeling: Specify boundary conditions for heat flow, including...
