KISSsoft

Sizing calculations are available for all common gear types (cylindrical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, helical gears, hypoid gears, and crown gears). For cylindrical gears, the software also works with planetary sets and gear racks. In addition to a feature for reviewing calculations with respect to standards (ISO, DIN, AGMA, VDI, Klingelnberg), the program also offers a number of different design and optimization functions. Advanced Tooth Contact Analysis and its use for profile modification estimation is one of the strength of the software. Accurate generation of 3D models of all types of gears allows for upstream use like direct machining of 5 spiral bevel gears on 5 axis milling machine.

Sizing calculations for shafts and bearings are integrated, i.e., a built-in graphic shaft editor uses the defined shaft geometry, mounting and loads as a basis for performing sizing calculations for roller and friction bearings, for verifying strength according to DIN or FKM standards, and for calculating bending lines, buckling loads, rpms critical to bending and torsional behavior, tooth profile deformation of shaft-mounted gears, and curves for power, force and mechanical stress. Software comes with a comprehensive bearing database from leading companies like SKF, Koyo, FAG etc. One can optimise the shaft and do bearing selection based on required service life.Other machine elements calculation available are for screws, bolts, shaft-hub connection, spline, springs, chains and belts

When calculating the shaft-hub connections, the system checks whether the connection functions as such (for friction-locked connections of cylindrical and conical interference fit) 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.

The calculation of bolted joints in KISSsoft enables verification according to VDI 2230 Sheet 1 and proof for bolts with FEM results as described in VDI 2230 Sheet 2. In addition to the report, the clamping diagram, assembly pretension forces, and bolt geometry are shown in graphics. The KISSsoft database contains numerous tables for bolt geometries, strength grades, bore standards, tightening factors, coefficients of friction classes, nuts, and many other tables that can be extended by your own entries.

KISSsoft offers a calculation of V-belts and toothed belts according to available standards and calculation guidelines from the manufacturers. The chain calculation includes the chain type according to DIN ISO 606 and a calculation basis according to DIN ISO 10823. These calculation modules offer helpful sizing functions for the belt length, center distance, the necessary width, or the number of belts. The chain drives with roller chains are calculated as defined in DIN ISO 606, using standardized roller chain values taken from a database. The chain geometry (center distance, number of chain elements) for simple and multiple chains, the transmissible power, axial forces, variation in speed are calculated by the polygon effect. The calculation is based on the standard DIN ISO 10823 with control of the maximum permissible speed and a proposal for the required lubrication.
