Modelling and dynamic simulation of electromechanical systems of equipment in the rolling mill field

In plant construction the use of simulation methods for the dimensioning of machines is becoming more significant. A comprehensive investigation comprising electrical and mechanical subsystems provides optimum preconditions for simulating a drive system. This requires an equal representation of both the electrical and mechanical system components in one model. The use of a uniform simulation program offers the possibility to combine the mechanical modelling with the electrical requirements. The procedure for simulation-aided design with regard to torsional vibrations is described in detail. The rolling mill drive systems is used as a representative drive system
