The new KISSsoft release 2024 is coming soon! This April will bring you the new system module KISSdesign, accelerating the calculation of complex drive trains and replacing the previous KISSsys software.
The KISSdesign system module is a powerful tool for transmission modeling and analysis. MSc. Eng. Aissa Benykhlef from KISSsoft AG will guide attendees through the essential tools and functionalities required for building comprehensive models, with a special emphasis on the Sketcher and its versatile applications in various kinematic models.
In KISSsoft's 2024 training schedule, you will find a great variety of training classes on selected KISSsoft modules and special topics including the latest software developments and trends in gear design, analysis, and manufacturing technology.
KISSsoft training courses cover various categories - basic, advanced, special - and take place either via Live Stream or at the KISSsoft AG premises in Switzerland. Based always on the current KISSsoft release, they give you the possibility to enhance and deepen your software knowledge and skills with regards to KISSsoft modules and functionalities.
KISSsoft supports the user with numerous calculations for different machine elements. The new KISSdesignmodule in KISSsoft supports the combination of these machine elements in building complex system transmissions containing any number of shafts, gears, and bearings.
In KISSsoft, 97 (yes, ninety-seven!) plastics are available for calculation of cylindrical and crossed axis helical gears. The materials range from unreinforced POMs and PAs to high performance reinforced and internally lubricated materials.
The loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) is crucial in understanding the deformation of gears and its impact on various factors such as noise generation, contact patterns, contact shocks, and torque variations. With the contact analysis feature in KISSsoft, users can calculate tooth contact under specific torque and speed levels, thereby assessing the performance of gears and gearboxes.
In KISSsoft's scheduled trainings until December 2023, attendees will find introductory training courses, advanced training courses and special training courses on selected topics.
With the help of KISSsoft, the user can combine the FE method with analytical models when designing a high-performance gear or drivetrain. The stiffness matrix of a gear body can be calculated accurately with KISSsoft using its advanced modeling capabilities for gear bodies. The effect of the gear body stiffness can be integrated in different KISSsoft calculations, like flank line modifications and loaded tooth contact analysis.
In an urgent assignment, a gear has to be designed, with the engineer already knowing the required reduction ratio, torque and speed. On the manufacturing side, the preferred materials, possible qualities and the reference profiles are specified. This initial situation represents an everyday task.
