Estudo da aplicabilidade da ferramenta de cálculo para projeto, análise e otimização de elementos de máquinas KISSsoft™ para o desenvolvimento de transmissões por engrenagens

Abstract

Computational tools have an important role on the conception of mechanical projects, they are utilized to create 3D representations, calculate complex equations and accelerate the optimization process of such projects. However, standardized calculation programs for machine elements are not yet in a widespread condition among professionals and students for lack of acquaintance with these tools. This study analyses the development of a gear transmission system by two methods, using the specific literature for the dimensioning of each machine element and using the machine elements calculation software KISSsoft™. It compares all the results obtained from both methods, noting mainly the biggest differences on geometry and load capacity of the elements. It also presents perceptions on the utilization of KISSsoft™ and its addon KISSsys™, this last one responsible for managing all of the project informations, on both academic and professional areas. By the implementation process of the transmission system on the software and the results obtained, it was possible to realize that KISSsoft™ can work as an education assistant, knowledge multiplier and can have an immediate employment on universities and by professionals.
