Xdot Engineering and Analysis Services and Capabilities
Rotor Dynamic Analysis
Xdot Engineering and Analysis has experience performing rotor dynamic analysis for a range of machinery from “traditional” to advanced foil bearing and magnetic bearing supported systems.  Small, very small and/or very high speed machinery are of particular interest.

Xdot Engineering and Analysis also has “hands-on” background and capabilities for experimental model analysis also allows for hardware validation of analysis results.  Analytical work is typically performed using DyRoBeS, a well proven, commercially available, finite element based code.  Xdot's unique capabilities include a custom developed Matlab toolbox that allows the use of Dyrobes for non-standard analysis such as parametric studies and large batch analysis runs.  This toolbox also includes a number of specialized routines to analyze active magnetic bearing supported rotors, and coupled systems (coupled torsional/lateral, etc).  Where necessary, other custom tools are developed using Matlab and/or C/C++.

Whether you spell it "rotor dynamic" or "rotordynamic" Xdot can help as a consultant or an occasional extension to your engineering department.
