FEM parts

Some parts of Ashes, such as the Generator, or the Gearbox, are not defined as FEM entities but affect the simulation through a set of equations that influence the behaviour of the model. For all other parts, it is possible to get the characteristics of the FEM defining the part. 

In this section we show how to access this information for the main shaft. The FEM characteristics can be accessed by clicking the part highlighted in the following section:



The parameters shown for this part cannot be modified, they are only shown for descriptive purposes. 



The tabs of this window give access to different types of information. The tabs Elements,  Nodes, Supports and Loads also give access to the corresponding sensors (see Sensor list)
