About KISSsoft

The gear calculation covers all common types: cylindrical, bevel, worm, crossed helical, hypoid, and face gears. In addition to calculations based on standards ISO, DIN, AGMA, VDI, etc., numerous sizing and optimization tools are offered, as well as methods that go beyond the standards. The shaft and bearing calculation is fully integrated in KISSsoft®. Among other things, shaft strengths and rating life of bearings are calculated optionally taking into account internal geometry (ISO TS 16281). The calculation can include several coaxial shafts and their connecting bearings. Torsion and bending-critical eigenfrequencies of the shafts are determined. When calculating the shaft-hub connections, the system checks whether a connection is valid and whether the pressures occurring remain below the permissible material characteristic values. All calculation modules offer sizing functions for the strength-relevant geometric dimensions and the maximum transmittable torque.

DC-E DigitalClone for Engineering

DigitalClone® for Engineering is the world's only gearbox reliability prediction solution integrating multiple scales of analysis in a single software package. In addition to modeling and analysis capabilities at the gearbox and gear/bearing levels, DC-E is the only solution available that models fatigue life based on detailed, physics-based models of the material microstructure (US Patent 10474772B2). DC-E enables construction of a gearbox digital twin with high value across all stages of the lifecycle of the physical asset - from design and manufacturing optimization to component supplier selection to failure root cause analysis to condition-based maintenance and to prognostics. This computational environment drives down the time and cost to bring new designs to the market and to sustain them over time.

SABR

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.
