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.

RecurDyn
RecurDyn is an interdisciplinary computer-aided engineering software package whose primary function is the simulation of Multi-Body Dynamics. It simulates both rigid and flexible body dynamics by combining traditional rigid multibody dynamics with cutting-edge finite element technology for modeling flexible bodies, known as Multi Flexible Body Dynamics. RecurDyn is designed to analyze the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems in motion, including systems with joints, constraints, contact, flexible components, forces, and complex interactions between parts. Its solver technology handles the differential algebraic equations that describe multibody systems, combining equations of motion with algebraic equations for joint constraints. It provides a robust MBD-specialized modeling environment, fast solvers, extensive post-processing, animation, plotting, and tools for evaluating the motion, loads, stresses, deformation, and performance of mechanical assemblies.
