Calculate weight placement using static and couple components

 

Overview

The Static/Couple Analysis option lets you enter two known weights and angular locations, such as the correction results, to have the program separate the static and couple components. Static/Couple Analysis lets you calculate the weight placement to address the static and couple components of the imbalance.

Static/Couple Analysis is only available when the job has two measurement planes.

Note: When the job has discrete weight positions and you import from the Balance Correction screen, the analyzer converts the discrete positions to continuous positions.

Procedure

  1. From the Balance main menu, press ALT > F6 Calculator Mode > F5 Static Couple Analysis.
  2. Set the following options as necessary.
    Option Description
    F2 View Balance Corr. View the last calculated balance correction. This option displays only if the analyzer calculated a balance correction, you accessed Static/Couple Analysis from the Trim Run Applied Weight menu, and you defined two weight planes for the job.
    F3 Plane #1 Weight Enter the calculated correction weight up to10,000. The default is 0. You can also import this value from the Balance Correction menu. This field is unitless. If you access Static/Couple Analysis from the Trim Run Applied Weight screen, the units are as defined for the job.
    F4 Plane #1 Angle Enter the calculated correction angle in degrees. The default is 0. If you import discrete weight positions (Advanced Mode only) from the Balance Correction menu, the analyzer converts them to continuous positions.
    F9 Plane #2 Weight Enter the calculated correction weight up to 10,000. The default is 0. You can also import this value from the Balance Correction menu. This field has no units. If you access Static/Couple Analysis from the Trim Run Applied Weight screen, the units are as defined for the job.
    F10 Plane #2 Angle Enter the calculated correction angle in degrees. The default is 0. If you import discrete weight positions (Advanced Mode only) from the Balance Correction menu, the analyzer converts them to continuous positions.
  3. Press F1 Calculate Solution or Enter.
    The Static/Couple Analysis Solution screen displays the newly calculated weight locations. For the Static Vector solution, the plot represents a weight plane with continuous weight positions. For the Couple Vectors solution, the plot for each weight plane displays continuous weight positions or discrete weight positions as defined under Job Setup.
  4. If you accessed Static/Couple Analysis from a trim run, press F11 Insert Static Solution or F12 Insert Couple Solution to send the calculated solution to the Trim Run Applied Weight entry.
    The analyzer splits the weight evenly between the two weight planes for the static solution.
  5. Press F7 Static Couple Calc. to exit and return to the calculation screen.
