SystemManager Release Brings More Comprehensive Gearbox System Analysis, Efficient Calculations
GWJ Technology GmbH announced a new version of SystemManager. The latest release extends the capabilities of the eAssistant and TBK calculation solutions with new features for load-dependent bevel gear design, FEM modeling and rolling bearing calculations, as well as additional options for analyzing complex gearbox systems.
The new version brings significant improvements to load-dependent bevel gear design. An interface to Klingelnberg’s KIMoS bevel gear software enables deformations and stiffnesses of the entire gearbox system to be considered during tooth contact analysis. Bevel gear sets can be imported, load-dependent relative positions calculated for different load cases, and the results transferred back to KIMoS for Load Tooth Contact Analysis (LTCA). This allows the tooth contact pattern to be analyzed and optimized under realistic system operating conditions.
FEM modeling has also been optimized. Improved automatic meshing during STEP import and the ability to combine additional STEP files simplify the integration of complex geometries and reduce manual effort.
The integrated rolling bearing calculation now includes an additional Timken database alongside updated bearing databases from CSC, GMN, NSK and SKF. The lubricant database has also been enhanced to support viscosity data at up to four different temperatures.
Further improvements include consideration of bearing clearance reduction caused by the lubricant film, additional configuration options for angular contact ball bearings and four-point contact bearings, and recalculation of bearing mass excluding the cage.
