1 Calculations According to EN81

This document explains the basics of the calculation of elevators in LIFTdesigner. It also shows possible solutions that can be necessary to fixing reoccurring calculation errors. 1.1 EN81
European norm for the construction and installation of traction and hydraulic elevators.
Important information:
We cannot guarantee that all calculation results in LIFTdesigner are according to EN81 will be 100% correct, especially regarding to the user defined components as well as for the standard components, if the layout and size does not match to the parts that are used later on for the construction of the elevator.
1.2
Check the Main Project data
Before you run the calculation of the elevator project, you should first check whether all relevant information for the elevator was entered correctly and is complete. Relevant information is the shaft and cab data for example as well as the weights. This information can be edited in the Main project data... dialog (Calculation Main project data). If you run the calculation on the basis of wrong information, you will receive invalid calculation results.
2 Calculation
The term calculation refers to all technical calculations and geometric verifications that are necessary for the planning and construction of the elevator. The approach to this subject is systematically.
2.1.1 Shaft head and Shaft pit

The shaft calculation in general refers to the verification of the shaft dimensions, shaft pit strength and refuge spaces (positioning in the shaft pit and on the car roof as well as the refuge space size).
2.1.2 Dialog Shaft head and Shaft pit

Click on Calculation Overhead in the LIFTdesigner menu bar to open the shaft calculation dialog. __________________________________________________________________
DigiPara GmbH Calculations According to EN81
The dialog shows information according to the current shaft configuration. If a value causes an error in the calculation, it will be marked in red and the error needs to be fixed.

In the drawing or in the dialog In the drawing or in the dialog The additional travel value is to small Change the value run by top or run by bottom In the drawing or in the dialog
The changes to these values can cause additional errors that need to be fixed, until the calculation shows no errors.
__________________________________________________________________
2.1.3 Refuge Space

In the shaft dialog, there is an option for automatic positioning of the refuge spaces, for the refuge space on the car roof as well as for the refuge space in the shaft pit. By using the Search for position buttons, the refuge spaces will be positioned automatically according to the EN81 rules. If it isnt possible to find the proper position automatically, you will need to position the corresponding refuge space manually in the drawing. The refuge space for the power receiving box will not be checked in the calculation. The option for the automatic positioning of the refuge space:
2.2
Calculation of the car
The most influencing factor of the car calculation is the number of passengers for the payload.
2.2.1 Dialog car Area

You can change the car size and weight either in the Main project data... dialog under the car tree item, in the properties docking window or in the car area dialog (click on the car Properties docking window Calculation Start calculation... ).
__________________________________________________________________

Some values can only be edited in the Main project data... dialog, in the properties docking window or in the drawing e.g. the clearance above the car, the car ceiling height or the car height. Main Project data Car tree item:
__________________________________________________________________
Important car dimensions:
2.2.2 Changing the car size

Changing the car size subsequently can influence the current selection of the guide rails, the dimensions in the shaft head / shaft pit and the refuge spaces in a negative way. It may become necessary to exchange the guide rails or to re-edit the shaft dimensions. 2.3 Guide rail Calculation
The LIFTdesigner guide rail calculation allows you to perform a complete calculation according to EN81, appendix G, requiring only few parameters in the beginning. Important: The calculation of guide rail stress with safety gear and normal operation considers all distributions of the payload inside the car, regardless whether it is a deep or wide car.
2.3.1 Guide rails

The dialogue for the guide rail calculation can be accessed via the menu bar Calculation Guide Rails... or alternatively in the drawing by clicking on one of the guide rails and then clicking on the Calculation Start calculation... in the Properties docking window. item
2.3.2 Weights

Enter the desired compensation (%) to calculate the corresponding weight of the counterweight. You can also enter the weight in the bottom text box.
__________________________________________________________________
2.3.3 Car
In this dialog box, you can check all the relevant geometric parameters for the calculation of the car guide rails. Whenever you do any changes in this dialog, e.g. select a different guide rail, the calculation result window in the lower part of the dialog will be updated immediately.
Fixing distance You can edit the fixing distance as long as you did not change one of the distances manually to a specific value. The frame determines the distance between the guide shoes. After you have switched to user defined, you can enter an individual value. Positions and centre of gravity: Different sheets allow you to easily enter main parameters and to visualize levers. Available: "Plan", "Car and doors", "Rope/piston attack point, axles", "Car, center of gravity", "Car frame, center of gravity", "Levers Printing only!". Type of guidance: __________________________________________________________________
10 1BCalculation Selection between sliding and roller guides for the extended flange bending calculation. Safety gear: Selection of the safety gear. Guide rail: Selection of the guide rail.
__
Result window: Visualization of the maximum results regarding to the current system parameters. Positions and centre of gravity: The sheet templates show only these dimensions, which are required to modify component positions and sizes influencing the guide rail calculation.
Exception:
The sheet template showing the levers and load distributions. Use it as a documentation of the calculation report.
Sheet Template "Car and doors": Here you can modify the car size and door positions relative to the car. Please note that you need to change the payload after modifying the car size.
__________________________________________________________________
Sheet Template Rope/Piston Attack Point, Axles:
Rope/Piston Attack Point: Use a vertical and a horizontal dimension to move the rope / piston attack point (cross hair symbol with the designation "F"). Axles: You can move the between-guides-axis for elevators with a car sling using a dimension starting at the front shaft wall. The DBG-axis of elevators with the L-type car frame can be determined relative to the cars centerline. There is also a dimension to change the distance of the car in relation to the DBG-axis. Attention: If it is not possible to change the axis position, please click on the centerline and switch off the corresponding automatic behavior in the Properties docking window.
__________________________________________________________________
12 1BCalculation Sheet Template "Car, Center of Gravity":
__
If the car's center of gravity is not the same as the center of the car, you can modify its position (S) changing the value of the vertical / horizontal dimension. Please note that this does not include the car door(s) when determining the center position of gravity. The calculation module will do this automatically. Dialog "Sling, Center of Gravity":
This template is only available for car frames that have this property by definition. The center of gravity is measured from the middle of the DBG-axis. All L-Type frames installed with the LIFTdesigner basis version ("Common component" library) support this feature. The mid point of the DBG-axis is the center of gravity for all other frames.
__________________________________________________________________
Sheet Template "Levers. Printing only!":
Type of Guiding:
If you do not use manufacturer specific components, you can select between sliding and roller guides. Otherwise, the text in the box appears in gray. If you wish to change the type of guiding anyway, you should do it using the normal LIFTdesigner methods. According to EN81, the type of guiding does not have any influence to the guide rail calculation. Due to high values of flange bending at the L-type car frames, the guide rail calculation module offers an alternative calculation, if sliding guide shoes are used. In such case, the length of the guide shoe is an important parameter. Safety Gear:
If you do not use manufacturer specific components, you can select another type of safety gear. Otherwise, the text in the box appears in gray. If you wish to change the safety gear type anyway, you should do it using the normal LIFTdesigner methods. If you change the type of safety gear within the guide rail calculation dialog box, the geometry will not change since the "Common Components" safety gear will not be visualized. You only can change the type and impact factor.
__________________________________________________________________
14 1BCalculation Guide Rail:
__
The guide rail selection allows you to choose between the most common guide rails (not from a certain manufacturer but from the "Common component" library). There are possibilities to add other guides to this list. Result Window:
The headline of the window appears in red, if at least one result exceeds the admissible limits. The values shown for the different stress cases may come from different positions of the payload distribution. E.g. the maximum guide rail force F(x) may come from a payload distribution in front of the car, the force F(y) from a payload distribution in the right side of the car. The abbreviations: F(x), F(y), F(z): Sigm(m): Sigm: Sigm(c): Sigm(F) d(x), d(y):
Forces referring to the guide rail axis Bending stress Bending and pressing stress Bending and buckling stress Bending of the rail flange (Sigm(Fgs): Extended bending of the rail flange) Guide rail deflection referring to the guide rail axis

For an explanation, see dialog box "Car". Additionally, you have the option to select ("Without safety gear").
2.3.5 Guide rail data

All relevant guide rail data is shown as well as the possibility to switch to the extended calculation of flange bending.
Switching from car to counterweight: User defined:
Shows either car or counterweight guide rail data and settings. Allows you to overwrite guide rail data (geometry, mechanic properties, material and way of manufacturing).
Calculations According to EN81
__________________________________________________________________
DigiPara GmbH
Number:
Allows you to perform the calculation with more than 2 guide rails. Allows you to assign other tensile strength or elongation values to the shown material. . You can enable the extended calculation for car guiding by sliding guide shoes. The results are shown directly in the result window.
Other material data:
Rail flange bending::
Guide rail, user defined: After having switched to "user defined", you are able to enter other geometric and mechanic properties for the chosen guide rail.
Now the dialog box, which offers the guide rail selection, shows the additional designation "user defined". You may assign St 37, St 44 and St 52 as basic guide rail material. The material data is shown below. The kind of manufacturing (cold drawn or machined) changes the elongation of the material. So you will obtain other admissible limits for normal strain (Sigm(perm., normal) and for safety gear operation (Sigm(perm., emerg.). These limits are shown below. Important: The selection of another guide rail overwrites all user-defined modifications. Switching to Other Material data: If tensile strength and elongation values of the selectable materials do not correspond to the material of the desired guide rail, you can activate the possibility of entering other material data. See the new limits of guide rail strain in the lower part of this dialog.
__________________________________________________________________
18 1BCalculation Calculation of the Bending of the Guide rail Flange: By default this calculation is carried out according to EN81. You can use an extended calculation for car guides (not for counterweight guides) and sliding guide shoes. In this case, the length of the sliding guide shoe, the distance between the guide rail foot and the middle of the running surface as lever influence the calculation: Sigm(Fgs) = F(x) * r * 6 / (L(gs) * c^2)) Bigger guide shoes and bigger values of F(x) amount to smaller values of the stress of bending of the guide rail flange than a calculation according to the formula of EN81.
__
In the report window of the car guide rail, you will see Sigm (Fgs) instead of Sigm (F).
Please note the geometric values n, h and f, which are lever calculation parameters.
2.3.6 Checking Report

All guide rail calculation steps and results can be checked under the Report tab.

2.4.2 Alterable Values

When you create an elevator LIFTdesigner automatically selects a matching counterweight according to the specified weights. You will need to change the counterweight according to the car weight. In the counterweight dialog, you can change the size of the counterweight, the number of counterweight inlets, the inlet size, etc.
2.4.3 Changing Values

You may need to change some of the values for one of the following reasons: Counterweight to small: Change the number of counterweight inlets Change in: In the dialog or change the corresponding values via the counterweight properties, in the Properties docking window. Change the corresponding values via the counterweight properties

Calculation of the Ropes (Traction Elevators)
Open the dialog by using the corresponding menu bar entry (Calculation Ropes...). The appearing dialog contains eight different tabs.
2.5.1 Roller Arrangement

Schematic representation of the roller arrangement:
2.5.2 Rope
This tab contains general information according to the ropes. The important values are the weight, length and number of ropes. If a rope tension device is used, the tension device type as well as the device position can be edited.
__________________________________________________________________
22 1BCalculation
__
You may need to edit one of the following values: Number of ropes: Change the number of ropes Change in: Click on the rope in the drawing and change the number of ropes via the Properties docking window.
Weight of ropes: Change the rope weight per meter Click on the rope in the drawing and exchange it against a suitable rope via the Properties docking window.
__________________________________________________________________
Hint: Only with the manufacturer specific ropes is the weight factor included in the calculation automatically. The Common Components ropes have a weight factor of 0 kg by default. If the used ropes are not available in the loaded manufacturer libraries, the weight can be edited manually in the Weight fields. To be able to change the ropes weight manually, you will need to activate the User defined check mark in the lower left corner of the dialog. Diameter of ropes: Change the rope diameter See above
You can change some of the values in the rope tab manually by activating the User defined (the check mark in the lower left corner of the dialog). We recommend that you use the components from the manufacturer libraries since the material properties of these components are already stored in the component database. If you need to use different manufacturer specific components that are not loaded into the manufacturer libraries yet, you will need to specify the material properties manually.
2.5.3 Grooving Consideration

In the tab Grooving consideration, the safety factor for the suspension ropes according to the current traction sheaves groove type is calculated. The values calculated according to EN81 are displayed in the Safety factor section. The friction according to the three load cases is checked as well. You can change the traction sheave specific values (groove type, angle, etc) as well as the rope specific values in this dialog (no. of ropes, rope diameter, etc). All the other values in this dialog are calculated automatically. The precondition for the validity of the calculation results is that all influencing factors have been entered correctly in advance (traction sheave diam., weight of the ropes, rope diam., etc.)
__________________________________________________________________
24 1BCalculation
__
Editable values: Change the traction sheave groove type Change the groove type Change in:
Enable the check mark for veegroove type and additionally select whether the groves are undercut or hardened. You may also need to change the vee-groove angle. Enable the user defined and check mark the angles value.(For veegrooves must be 35, for semi circular grooves must be 25)
You need to select a different traction sheave: Select a different traction sheave In the drawing. Double click on the traction sheave and exchange it against another model via the Component Navigator dialog.
__________________________________________________________________
The required safety factor is to small: Increase the number of ropes In the drawing. Click on the suspension rope and increase the number via the Properties docking window. See above
Increase the rope diameter
The current specific pressure is to big: See above See above
In the Groove as well as the Rope dialog, you can change the values to correct the calculation errors, but in general, the errors should be corrected in the drawing itself, e.g. by exchanging components or changing dimension / component values. e.g. Due to the fact that the suspension rope diameter is too small, the current specific pressure and the safety factor are also too small. Now you could change the values for rope diameter to a larger value in the rope calculation dialog by enabling the user-defined check mark, but this may not fix the problem. For example, if you change the rope diameter of a manufacturer specific rope, but the rope diameter does not exist in the database, the calculation according to the present material properties can cause further errors in the calculation. If you need to select a non-manufacturer specific rope, keep in mind that you need to correct the material properties for this rope too. The material properties of the manufacturer specific ropes are always stored in the database. The material properties of the Common Component ropes always need to be entered manually.
2.5.4 Load Conditions

The Load conditions are divided in three stress-cases: the loaded car, the stalled car and the emergency stop. For these three cases, traction should be ensured at all times. You should keep in mind that a slip of the car can occur, if the car is stalled in the well for any reason.
__________________________________________________________________
26 1BCalculation
__
In this dialog, you can change the friction loss values for the guide rails as well as the acceleration and deceleration values. According to the rules for the acceleration and deceleration of the car, the values must not be smaller than 0.5 m/s for the normal case and not smaller than 0.8 m/s for the reduced buffer stroke case. The ratio T1 / T2 is wrong: E.g. for the loaded car, below respectively above, the ration is T1 > e f T2 Change in:
In order to get the correct result, you will need to know the factors the values T1 and T2 depend on.
We need to check where and how the factors for the calculation T1 and T2 can be edited. Switch to the tab Detailed rope forces to get an overview about the influencing factors that are included in the sum formula for the values T1 and T2.For each stress case according to EN81 -19,3 a), b), c) the steps for the calculation of the values T1 and T2 are displayed. The sum of the values in each column is equal to the values of T1 and T2 now. With the

knowledge about the influencing factors, you can affiliate which values to change, to increase or decrease the values of T1 and T2.
2.5.5 Developed view

In this dialog, the part of the rope with the highest stress rate is displayed graphically. In the Developed view window, the suspension rope is displayed unwound. The part of the rope with the highest stress is calculated automatically. The safety factor is calculated according to this part of the rope.
2.5.6 Rope Pulleys

This dialog displays the pulley and traction sheave data (the diameters, the weights, the mass moment of inertia and the friction loss). These values need to be entered manually in most cases (except for the Thyssen components) because most manufacturers dont specify this information in their component catalogues. In this case, you need to complete the missing data from existing documents or if you dont have the required data, you need to calculate them. ( mass, mass moment of inertia, friction loss).
__________________________________________________________________
28 1BCalculation

2.5.7 Detailed rope Forces

The Detailed rope forces dialog contains information according to the stress cases that can occur during car operation. This is also mentioned in chapter 2.5.4. A distinction is drawn between two (four for the emergency stop) different situations per stress case, the ratio for T1 and T2 needs to be calculated. Each column contains the formulas for the corresponding values (friction, suspension rope, and traveling cable) that are added up to the value T1 and T2. You cannot do any changes in this dialog. To take a look at the other stress cases, move the scrollbar to the right.
__________________________________________________________________

The Checking Report dialog summarises all of the rope calculation results. Incorrect calculation results (according to EN81) are highlighted red.
__________________________________________________________________
30 1BCalculation 2.6 Cylinder
__
The cylinder calculation is calculated from the cylinder pressure and buckling. The specific values of the corresponding cylinder are used to calculate the values for pressure and buckling.
2.6.1 Dialog Cylinder

The dialog is split into 5 tabs. These tabs contain information about the cylinder design, which are the dimensions and the cylinder strength calculation.
2.6.2 Cylinder data

This dialog contains all major cylinder dimensions as well as specific cylinder values. When you exchange the cylinder, the data is updated automatically, e.g. if you select a different cylinder via the Cylinder dialog (click on the cylinder in the drawing, then click on the Cylinder Selection property in the Properties docking window).
__________________________________________________________________
Exchange the cylinder in the Cylinder dialog:
The diagram in the Cylinder dialog displays the maximum carload in relation to the traveling height. The force progression of the selected cylinder must be above this value. In the cylinder type table, you have the possibility to select a different cylinder (a manufacturer specific cylinder as well as a standard cylinder). The force progression of the selected cylinder is displayed in the diagram immediately. All cylinder models whose force progression is below the required value are marked in red.
Lets go back to the Cylinder data dialog.

In general, the values in the Cylinder/Ram section are not specified by most of the manufacturers (except GMV) and need to be added manually. For telescopic cylinders with external guidance, the manufacturer in general already specifies the number of guides. Some manufacturer specific cylinders may also be missing the values for wall and bottom thickness. The reserve stroke is the only value that is not specified by all the manufacturers. This value must be the value of the buffer stroke. Missing values must be taken from existing manufacturer documents or from the component part documents.

2.6.3 Base of Cylinder

Beside values from the Cylinder data dialog, the values for friction loss, proof stress, additional base thickness as well as the safety factor for the selected cylinder are displayed in the Values section. These values are constant factors.
The value for the full load pressure pstat is calculated, depending on the number of stages according to specific formula that is shown in the Report tab. In the Additional values section, the type of cylinder base and the corresponding dimensions are displayed. You can change the type of cylinder base and the corresponding dimensions by activating the User defined flag in the lower left corner of the dialog.

2.6.4 Wall Thicknesses

This dialog displays information according to the cylinder wall thickness. The present cylinder wall thickness is compared to the calculated cylinder wall thickness. You cannot make any changes in this dialog. If the value of the calculated wall thickness is bigger than the present wall thickness, the only possible solution is to exchange the cylinder, see chapter 2.6.2, 2.6.3.
__________________________________________________________________
34 1BCalculation
__
2.6.5 Buckling / Pressure

The Buckling / Pressure dialog contains the calculation of the cylinder buckling, the safety check for the suspension rope (2:1 only) as well as the mass calculation for the traveling cable and the suspension rope. In most cases, the rope weight per running meter needs to be entered manually. The Cylinder base weight as well as the Ram top weight is an important value for the calculation of the cylinder force on the pit; these values need to be entered manually too. If the calculated buckling force exceeds the maximum value of the selected cylinder, then you either need to select a different cylinder or you need to select different type of external guidance that will increase the buckling force strength of the cylinder (for telescopic cylinders only).

The used formulas as well as the definitions of the used parameters can be checked in the Checking Report dialog.
