Our Software Solutions
The industry is facing ever growing challenges. These include, above all, increasing specialization, ever shorter development times and rising cost pressure. At the same time, ever higher customer requirements must be met for increasingly individualized and ever more complex products. Our engineering competence in the development of precise software products will help you on the way to an optimized development and use of air-lubricated bearings with regard to static and dynamic properties of the bearing.
100% Self-developed
All our numerical tools are developed by sadap itself, without interfacing with other commercial tools such as CFD or FEM programs on the market. Our software simplifies and speeds up the calculation of the behavior of a rotor and various bearings at the ends of the rotor. The simulation program is composed of the basic program, which calculates the behavior of the rotor, and the program module, which simulates the respective type of bearing.
Flexible Structure
The simulation program essentially consists of the basic program, which calculates the behavior of the rotor, and various additional modules that simulate different types of bearings.
Optimized Calculation Ratio
Our software packages simplify and speed up the calculation of the behavior of a rotor and various bearings connected to the rotor that support both radial and axial loads. But that’s not all. With SADAP software products, it is important that the calculation ratio (accuracy / calculation time) remains optimized.
Consideration of Various Effects
The simulation of rotor bearing properties is a challenging subject, since it involves complicated physics with many influencing factors. Therefore, a reliable and accurate simulation procedure requires the consideration of the mentioned factors in an appropriate way, so that no influencing factor is neglected. The offered numerical tools allow to take into account various physical effects in the simulation of bearing properties, such as:
- The damping effect occured due to the frictional and viscoelastic characteristics of foil material (in the case of foil bearings).
- The damping characteristics of the bearings coupled with the rotor
- Influence of excitation frequencies on stiffnesses and damping coefficients

VibroAnalytics
DIN 60068-2-6 compliant vibration analysis – from resonance detection to endurance testing in one guided workflow
From measurement setup to test report – in four validated phases
VibroAnalytics was developed for the characterization of mechanical structures under vibration loading and is the ideal solution for anyone who needs to precisely identify critical resonance frequencies and validate their long-term stability. The software guides you through a scientifically rigorous 4-phase workflow: From environment validation through sweep analysis to automatic resonance detection – and finally to standard-compliant endurance testing at the most critical frequencies. Particularly valuable: The integrated material degradation analysis automatically detects structural changes during endurance testing – with predefined thresholds for foil bearings, CFRP composites, bonded joints, or general materials. With real-time dashboards, automatic compliance checking, and one-click report generation, you make informed decisions – whether in quality assurance, test laboratories, or development.

How It Works
From measurement setup to test report – a seamless workflow
VibroAnalytics supports you in all phases of your vibration testing: First with the validation of the measurement environment and acquisition of standard-compliant sweep data, then with automatic resonance detection, and finally with endurance testing at the most critical frequencies. The software analyzes your measurement data in the first two phases (Background Check and Low-Level Sweep) and gives you immediate feedback on whether your measurement setup needs optimization – before you waste time with invalid measurements. After successful resonance identification, VibroAnalytics performs the complete endurance test according to DIN 60068-2-6, monitors frequency and amplitude stability in real-time, automatically detects material degradation, and creates standard-compliant test reports.
Four Phases for Reliable Vibration Testing
VibroAnalytics guides you through a scientifically rigorous 4-phase workflow specifically developed for DIN 60068-2-6 requirements. From environment validation through precise resonance identification to standard-compliant endurance testing – each step builds on the previous one and ensures maximum reliability. The integrated material degradation analysis provides predefined thresholds for various material types, while the real-time dashboard clearly visualizes all critical parameters.
- Background Check (Phase 1): Validates the measurement environment with automatic verification of sampling rate (≥5000 Hz), measurement duration (≥60s), and frequency range (5-2000 Hz). Immediate feedback on suboptimal conditions prevents invalid tests from the start.
- Low-Level Sweep (Phase 2): Performs complete frequency response analysis using the H1 estimator. Automatic coherence verification (≥0.95) and SNR validation (≥40 dB) guarantee reliable input data for resonance detection. Interactive FRF visualization with multi-view options.
- Resonance Search (Phase 3): Two-stage resonance detection – Lenient mode finds all potential peaks, Strict mode filters by DIN criteria (Q≥10, coherence≥0.95, damping 0.1-5%). Automatic mode prioritization considers amplitude, damping, Q-factor, and coherence for optimal endurance test selection.
- Endurance Test (Phase 4): Minimum one-hour stability test at the highest-priority mode with intelligent mode tracking (±5% frequency window). The real-time dashboard offers four visualization views with paginated metrics plots for long tests. Two-tier compliance checks against DIN (5%/10%) and stricter Enhanced criteria (0.5%/3%). Discrete Events Detection identifies frequency jumps (>3%) and amplitude changes (>5%) with severity classification (Minor to Critical). Trend confidence analysis provides R², p-value, and 95% confidence interval for reliable degradation predictions.
- Advanced Degradation & Fatigue Analysis: Time-to-Failure (TTF) prognosis extrapolates current drift rates to critical limits with material-specific thresholds for foil bearings, CFRP composites, and bonded joints. Environmental effects analysis detects thermal cycles and distinguishes reversible from irreversible changes through metric correlation matrix. Fatigue cycle analysis continuously counts loading cycles for S-N curve-based lifetime assessment.
- Automated Reporting: One-click generation of HTML/PDF test reports with complete DIN 60068-2-6 compliance checklist, stability time series, event log for significant changes, and concrete action recommendations for non-compliance.
