Driveline modeller

A computer-implemented system for producing a design for a rotating machine assembly comprising:

• a data module configured for receiving data relating to one or more components of the rotating machine assembly, wherein the one or more components comprise a set of internal components, and data to be received by the data module comprises a user-defined wall thickness and clearance from rotating components;
• a user interface module configured for specifying data to be received by the data module and for receiving from a user a type of analysis to be performed on the data;
• a recognition module configured for identifying and selecting features of the data to be used for the analysis according to the type of analysis selected, wherein the recognition module is configured for identifying bearing outer rings and for determining that the bearing outer rings are to be supported by the housing;
• and
• an analysis module configured for analysing a performance of the rotating machine assembly according to the type of analysis selected and selected features of the data to be used,
• wherein the analysis module is configured to create a housing that wraps around the rotating components and to create a supporting cylinder that wraps around the bearing outer race, with length equal to the bearing width, inner diameter equal to the bearing outer diameter and user-defined outer diameter, the cylinder being integrated into the housing structure.
