WindowsLDP
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.

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.

Prism
Prism is Navier AI’s desktop AI engineering platform for hardware, mechanical, aerospace, and other engineering teams. It combines parametric CAD, 3D viewing, physics simulation, code editing, and reporting in one application. Users can describe a part or study in natural language, create or refine CAD, and use AI agents to configure and run physics solvers, write scripts, inspect results, and generate plots, dashboards, reports, or slides. The solver catalog includes 12 solver families, such as OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, Elmer, Project Chrono, and OpenModelica, plus Navier AI’s Ferro solver. Engineers can import STEP files, review scripts, meshes, and solver inputs, and run multiple agents in parallel to explore designs. Prism installs on Windows, macOS, and Linux; local solver workflows run on the user’s computer. The agent requires an internet connection and sends the content it reads to Navier AI’s model backend. Optional cloud compute can run approved solver jobs.
