KISSsoft Offers Drive System Analysis
In static system analysis, the deformation of the housing can be taken into account in the KISSsoft Release 03/2016, and therefore its effects on the bearings. The resulting displacements of the bearing outer rings, deform the shaft to a greater or lesser extent, and therefore have a decisive effect on the toothing contact analysis, in particular when resilient housings and powerful forces are involved.
To perform the calculation, a stiffness matrix for the housing is imported. This stiffness matrix can now be loaded directly into KISSsys in the formats used by the ABAQUS and NASTRAN and ANSYS programs.
Power Transmission Engineering is THE magazine of mechanical components. PTE is written for engineers and maintenance pros who specify, purchase and use gears, gear drives, bearings, motors, couplings, clutches, lubrication, seals and all other types of mechanical power transmission and motion control components.
