ross.SealElement#

class ross.SealElement(n, kxx, cxx, mxx=None, kyy=None, kxy=0, kyx=0, cyy=None, cxy=0, cyx=0, myy=None, mxy=0, myx=0, frequency=None, seal_leakage=None, tag=None, n_link=None, scale_factor=1.0, color='#77ACA2', **kwargs)#

A seal element.

This class will create a seal element. Parameters can be a constant value or speed dependent. For speed dependent parameters, each argument should be passed as an array and the correspondent speed values should also be passed as an array. Values for each parameter will be_interpolated for the speed.

SealElement objects are handled differently in the Rotor class, even though it inherits from BearingElement class. Seal elements are not considered in static analysis, i.e., it does not add reaction forces (only bearings support the rotor). In stability level 1 analysis, seal elements are removed temporarily from the model, so that the cross coupled coefficients are calculated and replace the seals from the rotor model. SealElement data is stored in an individual data frame, separate from other bearing elements.
