Shafts
 | A shaft consists of:
and is connected to the gear unit via an assembly relation. |
Modeling Guideline Static Analysis
Each shaft must have at least one shaft section.

Modeling Guideline Static Analysis
The mechanical model must be statically determined; no (excited) rigid body modes may remain in the system.
In particular, this means that each shaft must be supported in the inertial system by at least one connecting component. Possible connecting components are:
Bearings
Couplings
Switchable coupling
Shaft-hub connection
