Rotating Machinery Analysis

Mechanical Solutions, Inc. has the unique capabilities and advanced tools required to solve today's difficult engineering problems. The MSI staff has experience analyzing all types of mechanical components including turbomachinery and reciprocating equipment such as pumps, compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines, industrial fans, spark ignition engines and diesels. Whether you're in the design stage or are having problems with installed equipment, MSI provides solutions to aide you in solving your problems.

MSI provides you with internationally best-in-class service and value, by delivering practical and effective solutions rather than simply analysis and test results.  Our primary goals are to determine practical and effective solutions for you, our customer, by delivering results within or under your budget, on time or ahead of schedule, while maintaining an open and supportive relationship with you.

We also provide 3D Solids, CAD, and Meshing - MSI can create and hex- or tet-mesh complex solid models. We can import and export models from many solid modeling, CAD, and FEA packages.  Some of the programs we use are: ANSYS, AutoCAD, FEMAP, Pro/Engineer, and SolidWorks®. If you prefer, MSI can provide on-site training for different types of analyses and equipment troubleshooting.  Some of the courses we offer are:

  • Modal Testing
  • Vibration Testing
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Rotordynamic Analysis
  • Turbomachinery Specific Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

MSI offers Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Rotordynamic analysis as well as designing and buildings custom test loops and test rigs. We can also design rigs and temperature controlled flow loops for use in extreme environment testing.  We have experience building high-speed rigs and high-pressure loops for: pumps, compressors, turbines, magnetic bearings, and seals.
