SABR is a proven shaft, gear and bearing conception and design package. Developed to integrate into the design process and reduce product development time, SABR provides an intuitive graphical interface allowing the transmission system to be modelled at a level of detail appropriate to the current design phase. Additionally, it allows sensitivity studies to determine the effects of different geometric features, bearing types and gear positions, with immediate results. The solvers themselves are based on engineering standards as well as Ricardo’s product design, manufacturing and testing experience, and are continually updated to be kept in line with real-world test and development programmes. Simple and intuitive graphical interface for quick and accurate model building. Bearing analysis with life calculation and stress plots accounting for loading and misalignment. Duty cycles with multiple and complex load paths. Parallel, epicyclic and bevel gears.

CoTherm is a coupling and process automation software that acts as an ambassador between CAE programs. CoTherm makes process automation simple. It is useful for running sensitivity studies, a design of experiments, or running multiple CAE models as part of a single process. This capability can streamline pre-processing, transient analysis thermal analysis, or post-processing. With a CoTherm software license, we provide templates for common coupling or automation tasks. CoTherm includes optimization capabilities that determine which inputs used in your design are the best choice. Any CAE analysis can be optimized using the general optimization sub-processes. CoTherm's mathematically rigorous solution (including multiple global and local methods) removes guesswork and complexity from your design process. CoTherm natively supports many popular thermal and CFD codes. CoTherm's powerful tools allow the coupling of any software that can run in the command line or with config files.

WindowsLDP (Load Distribution Program) is a quasi-static gear design and analysis tool for external and internal spur and helical gear pairs. This software program has been adapted and used extensively by most of the consortium members as the main gear design and analysis tool. Variations of this model to perform surface wear and duty cycle analyses are also available. WindowsLDP employs computationally efficient and accurate semi-analytical formulations to compute the load distribution between multiple mating teeth of gears. With the predicted load distribution, it computes the loaded transmission error, root and contact stress distributions, mesh stiffness functions, tooth forces as well as other design relative parameters such as lubricant film thickness and surface temperature. User has the choice of using SI or English units in the analyses. WindowsLDP’s capabilities also include multi-torque analyses and manufacturing robustness analyses.
