UM MagLev

 Simulation of MagLev Dynamics

Program package Universal Mechanism includes a specialized module UM MagLev for analysis of 3D dynamics of magnetic levitation vehicles. The module includes additional tools integrated into the program kernel.

UM MagLev contains the following main components: 

• tools for generation and visualization of guideway structure (bridge) geometry;
  
• tools for generation of guideway roughness (irregularities);
• mathematical models of levitation and guidance magnets:
  • spring/damper;
  • single pole magnet:

    

  • external EMS and EDS models with Matlab/Simulink and built-in tools such as UM Control / Block Editor.
  
• flexible or rigid guideway;
• set of typical dynamic experiments.

UM MagLev allows the user to solve the following problems:

• linear analysis;

• linear vibration response;
  
• eigenvalue and eigenvector problem;
• сhoice of levitation and guidance control parameters and analysis of stability;
• сomputation of root loci;
• nonlinear simulation analysis;

• estimation of vibrations due to track roughness;
• estimation of vehicle dynamic performances on curving;
• parametric optimization of vehicle elements according to various criteria.
