KISSsoft 03/2017E (SP5) Update

KISSsoft AG, a developer design software for engineers and designers in a wide variety of fields, has released an update (SP5) to KISSsoft 03/2017, a modular calculation system for the design, optimization and analysis of machine elements.

KISSsoft Changelog Version 03/2017 - Service Pack 5:

KISSsoft - 3D geometry (STEP interface)
- 3D model: Face gear system positioning
The face gear system with axial offset and helix angle was not positioned correctly.
KISSsoft - Bolt calculation
- The dynamic strength value for bolts rolled after heat treatment (ND < 2*10^6) was wrongly calculated
The dynamic strength value σASZG for bolts rolled after heat treatment (SG) (ND < 2*10^6) was wrongly calculated.
(Equation 174, VDI 2230 part 1, 2015)
KISSsoft - Gear calculation
- IMPROVEMENT: Root fatigue data added for Kuraray materials
Root fatigue data was added for the following Kuraray materials:
Genestar N1000A
Genestar N1001A
Genestar N1002A
- Number of teeth of pinion cutter in graphics
The maximum number of teeth of the pinion cutter was limited to that of the corresponding gear in the 2D graphics.
- Applying tip rounding in the normal section
In some gears with high helix angle (crossed helical gears, cylindrical gears), the tip form diameter was not calculated correctly. This is now fixed, additional message is displayed in the report.
KISSsoft - General
- Database: If you set an UNC-path as UDBDIR the idx-files were written in the wrong folder
If you set an UNC-path as UDBDIR in the kiss.ini, the idx-files (index) were written in the wrong folder.
That means for hidden set data entries or own defined data entries the order was wrong in the database.
- Chinese texts in portuguese language version
In some Portuguese KISSsoft surfaces were Chinese texts.
KISSsoft - Root stress FEM calculation
- FEM root stress: Tooth bending of internal gears
The amount of tooth bending of internal gears was not calculated correctly. This affected also the singular tooth stiffness reported from the FEM root stress calculation.
- FEM-Root stress: Gear selection for 3- and 4-gear chains and planetary systems
The information on the gear that was selected to be analyzed was not passed correctly to the calculation, for the cases of 3- and 4-gear chains and planetary systems.
- The consistent flag was not always updated
The calculation was not always set to inconsistent when changing the data of an element in the element editor or changing the position of an element by mouse move.



About KISSsoft Software. 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.

About KISSsoft AG. KISSsoft AG develops design software for engineers and designers in a wide variety of fields: whether they manufacture cable car systems, gears for construction equipment, Formula 1 race car transmissions or the tiny gears used in Mars rovers, more and more companies all over the world have come to rely on KISSsoft design software. When used in keeping with currently valid standards (DIN, ISO, AGMA), our software serves as a quick, high-quality tool for sizing machine elements, reviewing calculations, determining component strength, and documenting safety factors and product life parameters.
