Background
At present, a yaw brake disc of a large wind generating set is mainly calculated by adopting a finite element method, and a common node or binding method is mainly adopted in the boundary processing of a main frame and the yaw brake disc, so that only the load transmitted by the main frame through a yaw brake caliper is considered, the load transmitted by the main frame through a yaw driving motor is simplified, and the final calculation result of the yaw brake disc is larger.
