Summary and Conclusion
This document is addressed to Simcenter 3D Motion users working on system including gears transmission for vibration analysis before eventual acoustic simulation for noise and signature. It includes FFT theory reminders and a practical example workflow comparing waterfall (Campbell) plot results on a demonstration model. The end scope if for identifying critical shaft rotation speeds and the according vibration levels.
This model is a simple transmission with 2 gears on 2 shafts connected via bearings to a housing made flexible. This model is available for download.

5. Example Hands-on
5.1 Discrete Sweep 1000-5000 RPM, increment 1000 RPM; Motion solver CPU 1415 sec
Model and Load Pre-processing (FFT) of the Discrete sweep results – CPU 11 sec
5.2 Continuous Sweep 1000-5000 RPM (10,100) Print 0.1 ms; Motion Solver CPU 1484 sec
Model and Load Pre-processing for this 1st continuous sweep results - CPU 5 sec
We need to increase the sampling rate. A better solution should use a print of 0.02 ms (or less) instead of 0.1 ms.
5.3 Continuous sweep 1000-5000 RPM (20,200) Print 0.02 ms; Motion Solver CPU 3128 sec
Model and Load Pre-processing for this 2nd continuous sweep results (FFT) - CPU= 450 sec
6. Conclusion when comparing Discrete sweep with Continuous sweep driver solutions
