Romax Technology announced the availability of release R14.0 of its precision bearing, gearbox and driveline simulation and analysis software, RomaxDesigner, and its wind turbine drivetrain-specific variant, RomaxWind. The release includes productivity and feature enhancements, as well as a new Concept Modeller module option.
The Concept Modeller module increases the speed with which complex gearbox models can be created, functionally analyzed and exported to CAD for packaging analysis. The point and click user interface incorporates drag-and-drop editing and sizing features, which the company says can improve speeds by ten times while reducing data entry errors.
Designers can create gearboxes using conventional stick-diagrams . Possible gearbox layouts include complex ravigneaux and plus-planet planetary arrangements and the latest dual-clutch arrangements. The Concept Modeller module takes the stick-diagram input and generates 2D and 3D representations that can be analyzed visually by selecting cut planes through the design.
No data re-entry is required on concept designs that are taken forward into RomaxDesigner for precision analysis.
