In KISSsoft, the user is able to combine the FE method with analytical models when designing a high-performance gear or drivetrain.
The stiffness matrix of a gear body can be calculated accurately with KISSsoft using its advanced modeling capabilities for gear bodies. The effect of the gear body stiffness can be integrated in different KISSsoft calculations, such as flank line modifications and loaded tooth contact analysis.
Among the new modeling possibilities are the inclusion of a rim with a different material from the gear body and the import of externally prepared geometry files (step files). The gear body is now integrated as a special calculation in the gear module, supporting its seamless use in the gear calculations.
KISSsoft is a modular calculation program for the design, optimization and verification of machine elements according to international standards. The individually customized software packages for a wide variety of applications guarantee tailor made solutions and the integration to all common CAD software complete the product.
