Remote mass

Chase Draper Mar 4, 2016 4:20 PM

Can I treat the blades in this rotor as a remote mass? If so how do you set it up? The blades slip into slots and the bands retain them. For the purpose of this study I am only interested in the stress the blades place on the other parts and not the stress on the blades individually.

You might, but it'd be more appropriate (and easier to be honest) to just model the blades with shell elements (that way you capture the stiffness, total mass, and mass distribution).
