I am trying to simulate two vibrating motors on a piece of equipment. The equipment sits on springs. Attached is an image of one screen type. I have a video of the motors on start up. If it will help visualize what is going on let me know and I will email it to you.
My goal is to be able to use MES to simulate start up, run for a few seconds, shut down, and be able to accurately simulate the boundary conditions where the motors would be in contact with the support. All of this without including the motor body. The centrifugal force and RPM are known. The motor body geometry and material can't be verified so I am assuming that the motor body encounters significantly less strain than the supporting structures. The geometry of the weights generating the centrifugal force and the shaft they mount to are known.
I collected data from a physical model that we built and the results match those shown with Inventor's Dynamic Simulation (DS). The only problem with the DS model is that I can't simulate start up, shut down, or the interactions between the weights in the vibrating motors.
Any advice is appreciated.

Andrew
Hi Andrew,
I would try something like the following:
See the attached image, too.
Hello Andrew, im trying to simulate exactly the same as you asked in this post, can you guide me how you did it?
Thanks
