[@trungnghiale8286]

thank you for the video. I did not understand the point you talked about at 20:42 , why and how we assess the mass ratio ?

[@graspengineering9249]

The respective mass ratio is important to understand the participation of the respective mode. It represent the mass contributing to that mode and the sum of total ratio represents the total participation, suppose it is 90% in x it means 90 mass is taken into account into x direction. It suppose you have less mass participation then you can use missing mass or further increase modes to account more mass.you can access through output window in APDL & solution information or output file in workbench.

[@cpkewat]

Hi. There is one doubt. May be very simple for others. We are assuming acceleration load is coming due to pump and motor. If same load is coming from external shocks which excite the fixed support first like seismic load. Plz suggest

[@realkanavdhawan]

Thank you so much Sir Precise and to the point

[@graspengineering9249]

You are most welcome

[@sona7871]

Very helpful. What type of support would be accurate under a Block type machine foundation for modal analysis ? Is it elastic support or is it right to assign compression only supports.

[@graspengineering9249]

Elastic or compression only supports are representation of actual support conditions in FEA. You need check your model and accordingly choose the BC in FEA.

Thank you for the video Sir, how validate the results. How to determine the resonance frequency? I need to know what frequency it is failing and how to determine it

[@graspengineering9249]

Welcome! Resonance will occur when excitation frequency of equipment matches with natural frequency. So first check excitation frequency and correlate with natural frequency, if it matches it means chances of resonance.

[@ToanTran-ve6fj]

can you do static analysis with apply nozzle load

[@1311jigar]

Hi! How will you decide that the number of modes extracted are sufficient. For example: You considered point mass for compressor and motor. Both point masses do not have connection with each other. But there can be twisting of the connection between compressor and motor which can add mode that might be severe. And we don't see such modes on compressor bracket and motor bracket in the shown results.

[@graspengineering9249]

Hello, at present we are interested to analyze base frame and hence we are more interested to see the frame mode shapes. So we assumed both motor and compressor as point mass. Surely their is impact on modeling of motor & compressor, the stiffness of both motor and compressor will impact on mode shapes and natural frequency. The better way to perform analysis is to model the complete the frame and simplify the compressor and motor geometry and attached as per actual scenario with correct mass.

Thank you very much sir! i have a question: after conducting this modal analysis how can we choose a damper for the frame or the motor and pump mounts? Any help will be appreciated!

[@graspengineering9249]

It is difficult to select the modal analysis results like mode shape and natural frequency. You might further need to perform the dynamic analysis (frequency response) for various damper and their compare the results withe each other and then select the most suitable.

[@muhammadtayyab6280]

@@graspengineering9249 Dear sir, i have a base frame sort of like yours on which an ic engine a gearbox and a generator are mounted. Now, from what i know any structure has infinite mode shapes and the natural frequency modes should not resonate with the excitation frequencies. This is to reduce vibration and as long as the two do not resonate the system is stable right? Also can you suggest any tutorial for dynamic analysis(frequency response). Thank you very much!

Hi, one question, motor and pump in the real instalation have a coupling between them, is necessary to use any contact between masses in the software?. In the video you use masses without relation/conection between them. Is correct to do this? Thank for your video

[@graspengineering9249]

It is not possible to create contact between mass elements, In order to consider the connections as well as consider stiffness of both motor & pump, it is necessary to model both motor & pump in FEA Model. If you are looking to study only base frame then simplest way to idealized using masses and connect to their fixing point. The first approach is more realistic, but second one will also give similar results as first approach have negligible effect on results.

Is it possible to scale this up, lets say this pump was in a basement and you'd like to see its effect on the ground floor of the building. What do you think.

[@graspengineering9249]

Yes, their will be effect. But usually their is some medium between pump and base floor to dampen the vibrations.

[@gudimallamjothivinodhkumar2394]

Whether the modal analysis is for centrifugal pump or for base frame?

[@graspengineering9249]

It is for centrifugal pump base frame. Centrifugal pump and motor are idealized using mass elements.

[@saurabhkashid8211]

You write wrong linear equation it just [k]{U} not a {ù} (dot). {Ù} dot means velocity and it's for damping and just displacement {u} for spring. But very good presentation I appreciate that.

[@divyanshmahajan7349]

If you can suggest I am not able to get natural frequency from modal method??

[@graspengineering9249]

Check your FEA Model connection, if few bodies are flying then you will zero frequency. Also if you have not fixed your model then first six mode are zero frequency mode, in such case you should extract more modes.

[@graspengineering9249]

You can either use constraints as per foundation or do free free analysis without constraints, in which first 6 modes are rigid body and later on you will get required modes. If you are expecting lower frequency 30hz more than operating then you can do design changes if you are not getting.

[@gujexp25]

@@graspengineering9249Thank you for reply. You have point mass for motor and pump but both has stiffness. Is it ok to just add mass? If i do free free analysis 7th mode is 120hz. If i constrain i get 330 to 430 hz depend upon how i constrain. Sorry i m asking too many questions..

[@graspengineering9249]

While entering mass, you can even enter mass moment of inertia in respective directions, it is further more accurate. You can consider motor mass too it will further affect minor frequency. Instead of frequency you can check mode shapes in which directions it is moving, it should match with free free. We need to think according to realistic condition Wether we need to idealized as mass or modeled complete structure.
