The solution implemented in Clearance evaluator extension is dedicated to 2D axially symmetrical models for quick and easy analysis of space between working parts (blade vs casing or shaft vs bearings). Thanks to the extension we can analyze the change of clearance in both directions X and Y including assembly clearance.
The results are displayed in a user-friendly and easy-to-use graphical interface directly in the Ansys Workbench environment.

The main advantage of the extension is the possibility to analyse the change of clearance during the mission (transient analysis).

ADVANTAGES AND SAVINGS

• The chart of radial/axial clearance change is created automatically inside Ansys Workbench;
• The table with values is generated as well and can be exported to the csv file;
• There is no need to use any other exterior tool such i.e. Excell;
• Easy-to-use extension;
• Works perfectly in transient analyses;

TIME SAVINGS

The extension allows automatic generation of clearance change charts over time, so there is no need to manually copy large amounts of data between the softwares (especially when analyzing a large number of points simultaneously), which significantly speeds up data analysis and eliminates the risk of error.
