KISSsoft 03.2016a

KISSsoft AG, a developer design software for engineers and designers in a wide variety of fields, has released update of KISSsoft 03/2016, a modular calculation system for the design, optimization and analysis of machine elements.

KISSsoft is a program for sizing, optimizing and recalculating designs for machine components such as gears, shafts and bearings, screws, springs, joining elements and belts. The product can also be integrated in all popular CAD programs.

The following highlights are available amongst others:

- Massive simplification of 3D modeling in KISSsys
- Enhanced evaluation of planet carrier deformation
- FE calculation of the gear body
- VDI 2737 (2016) – load capacity of the tooth root with influence of the gear rim
- Bevel gear contact analysis with shaft influence
- And much more …

The new version of KISSsoft 03/2016A now contains very latest data from the "Rolling Bearings" catalogue. By cooperation between SKF and KISSsoft, all future releases of KISSsoft will include an updated bearing database from SKF. The previous KISSsoft database contained 4'000 SKF bearings - the new release contains 11'500 bearings as shown in the latest catalogue. In case of major changes to the catalogue by SKF, KISSsoft can deliver a new database to the customer with patch files. This collaboration ensures that KISSsoft users are able to design gearboxes using up-to-date bearing range and bearing catalogue data.
