Dear @Emanuel.Rergis,
OK, I’m glad you got the model to run now.
There are many posts on this forum that provide guidance on how to select a suitable time step (DT
). The time step requirement is dictated by the highest full-system natural frequencies of your model (with the standard rule of thumb being DT < 1/(10*f_max)
, which will depend on the system masses and stiffness. The full-system natural frequencies (including f_max
in Hz) can be found through a linearization analysis followed by eigenanalysis (including MBC3 if the rotor is spinning with blade degrees of freedom enabled). There is also a balance between time step size (DT
) and number of correction steps (NumCrctn
); smaller DT
can likely use smaller (or zero) NumCrctn
, but setting NumCrctn
to 1 or higher may allow you to use larger DT
.
Best regards,
