I just want to make sure that my setup for my motor plate is correct and to learn better methods of setting up these types of problems in the future. I'm desiging a motor plate that will have a diesel motor driving an alternator via timing belt. The motor plate is on rubber mounts.
I've simulated the motor and alternator masses using remote loads and constraints with a weight at the junction point located at the center of gravity.
I've simulated the motor torque through the belt using remote loads and constraints with a moment applied to the junction point located at the shaft.
The rubber mounts are simulated as springs with their respective spring constants along the three axis.
All generated line elements are beams, treating the motor and alternator as rigid bodies.
Does this setup sound correct?
