Abstract The paper relates to the design of machine tool spindles for optimal static stiffness using computer simulation. Current trends are to have computer algorithms which are reliable and allow efficient and accurate programming. In particular, algorithms which may be repeatedly applied to model complex systems, by gradually building up to the final system, are extremely useful. The algorithms described allow the analysis of complex statically indeterminate spindles and provide stiffness values and deflected shapes. The algorithms may also be used with nonlinear bearing stiffnesses thus enabling the resulting nonlinear static stiffness of the spindle system to be predicted. The algorithms are also fast compared to normal methods and therefore allow the designer to investigate a range of design possibilities interactively.
