KISSsoft 03-2017A KISSsoft AG, a developer design software for engineers and designers in a wide variety of fields, has released update for KISSsoft 03/2017, a modular calculation system for the design, optimization and analysis of machine elements. The KISSsoft calculation programs offer a comprehensive suite of powerful calculations to size, optimize and rate machine elements such as gears, shafts, bearings, bolts, splines, keys, interference fit, springs and others. All calculations are based on international standards to provide the user the necessary reliability. An intuitive user interface and context sensitive online help are the key to fast and efficient use of the program. Extensive reports offer in-depth understanding of the results. Due to the five supported languages, KISSsoft can be used in an international environment. With the KISSsys program, complete gearboxes can be analysed on a system level. KISSsoft 03-2017A What's new in KISSsoft 03/2017: - Reliability evaluation of gear units on system level - Simplified modeling using predefined gear stages in KISSsys - Calculation of root stresses with FE for cylindrical gears - Variation calculation for the inner geometry of bearings - Determination of the unbalance response during the vibration calculation of shafts
