rotordynamics software

[VibFrank]

Hello,
which rotordynamics software do you use ?
We are looking for a rotordynamics-software for:
-lateral and torsional
-undamped and damped
-harmonic excitation
-journal bearings, seals and gaps
-journal bearings: nonlinear (transient)
-3 or more rotating shafts, each above each other (similar to pipe-elements)

Thanks for your help
chris

Hi,
if you're not afraid of text-based input methods, another powerful software is MAschinen DYNamik (MADYN) by Dr.Klement Eng.Buro, Darmstadt.
