The Nauticus Machinery package for Geared propulsion systems is focusing on the shafting system, couplings, reduction gear and the engine. Some of the tools are intended for system analysis, e.g. vibrations, while others are intended for component analysis.

Powerful alignment software will help you to obtain the best alignment for the bearings in the geared propulsion system. You can also use the same geometrical model to perform both whirling (lateral) vibration and axial vibration analysis.

The torsional vibration software provides effective modelling and analysis techniques for calculation of vibration levels and resonance ranges for geared propulsion systems. After analysing the vibration levels, the shaft fatigue tool can calculate the allowable stress levels. The powerful gear analysis tools calculate the load distribution in the gear wheel and can also be used for troubleshooting or design purpose. The gear tools can also check a number of acceptance criteria for the gear, as well as finding the actual gear loads.

The geared propulsion system package currently consists of the following calculation MODULES:
