Herón Rotordynamics

Heron Rotordynamics is a web-based software capable of modeling a wide variety of rotating machinery and its vibration characteristics. It will allow you to model and predict the dynamic behavior of any rotating machinery and estimate the result of corrective actions or design changes while providing time, effort, and money saving by reducing the uncertainty of vibration problem diagnosis and the cost of its possible solutions.

Herón’s technology is based on finite elements simulation of the rotors, and unlike other softwares it’s intuitive, user friendly and don’t require advanced FE knowledge.

Heron’s interface is simple and functional allowing easy access to the model data entry and providing good results visualization. Our powerful server is in charge of the numerical calculation process and problem solving, providing a quick and efficient numerical performance. The data entry is done through spreadsheet like tables and results visualized in typical vibration graphical format or obtained as TXT and CSV files for further analysis. In this manner anyone how can read vibration instrumentation can now solve complex rotordynamic problems.

Heron is the result of 15 years of experience and development in design and repairment of turbo machinery and a new paradigm for the industry. With Heron you will be able to “know and solve” rather than “guessing and trying” possible solutions on your rotating machinery.

SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS AND USAGE

PORTABILITY

Because of its online optimized processing capability, Heron can be used with any computer or tablet connected to the internet. The web interface is so efficient that can be used with 3G connectivity. With Heron you have all the power of complex rotordynamic finite elements software at the tip of you fingers wherever you go.

DESIGN AND R&D

Heron is a tool for modeling, verification and optimization of all types of rotating machinery, from slow gearboxes to ultra fast pumps and compressors, giving you the information you need to evaluate design and performance characteristics from the dynamics and vibration point of view.

MAINTENANCE AND MACHINERY REPAIR

With Heron you can optimize the maintenance of your rotating machinery through fault diagnosis and engineer their repair; increasing reliability and reducing diagnostic uncertainty. You can now know exactly what is happening and what the solution is without using the expensive "trial and error" method.

SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS AND USAGE

MODELING CAPABILITIES

You can model rotating machines like:

Gear trains.
Centrifugal pumps.
Compressors.
Turbo-expanders
Turbines.
Generators.
Centrifuges

In addition to the rotating components, you can also model their bearings and seals, allowing you to know their dynamic and operational characteristics.

SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS AND USAGE

YOU CAN EVALUATE THE VIBRATION CAUSED BY:

Mass unbalance.
Rotor misalignment.
Rotor gravity sag.
Rotor bowing.
Calculate critical speed and resonance frequencies.
Evaluate transient behavior such as starting, stopping, instantaneous mass losses.
Evaluate frequency characteristics of oil and roller bearings, among others.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANALIZE DYNAMIC AND OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SEALS AND OIL BEARINGS SUCH AS:

Bearing/seal influence on rotor’s vibration (stiffness and damping).
Bearing operating temperature both metal and oil drain.
Oil flow rate.
Evaluate instabilities of rotor-bearing-seal system (whip and whirl).
Rolling bearing characteristic frequencies.
