This tutorial demonstrates the modeling of vibrating machinery and its connection to a steel-skid structural system. Instruction describes application of the following:
- Constraints which link machinery to structure
- Analytical-model meshing
- Mass sources and periodic time-history load cases
- Pile sections and connections
Upon conclusion of analysis, performance may be evaluated through deflection amplitudes, velocities, and accelerations, output plot function traces, and hysteretic behavior of multi-linear plastic links which correlate with dynamic-nonlinear P-Y, T-Z soil data.
