Simulation software for the behavior of the transmission and drive train
13.03.2020 | Functionbay and KISSsoft present a simulation software and two toolkits that can be used to improve the dynamic behavior of transmissions through simulation. With such optimization, designers can meet today's requirements for reducing noise and vibrations in transmissions and drive trains.
The tool GearKS offers seamless access to the Kisssoft contact analysis for straight and helical gears. During the dynamic calculation in Recurdyn, GearKS determines the forces, moments and stiffnesses relevant for modeling gear pairs in each iteration step, based on the proven Weber/Banaschek model. The detailed definition of the gear set can be entered either by reading in a Kisssoft file or using the Kisssoft user interface.
recurdyne uses BearingKS, the bearing calculation from Kissssoft. simulation software is based on the approach of ISO 16281. It determines the contact situation of all rolling elements in each iteration step. With BearingKS, the extensive Kisssoft warehouse database is supplied with the data from tens of thousands of bearings.
Both toolkits are supplied with the software that is required for execution in the Recurdyn environment, so that no external Kisssoft installation is necessary.

Simulation of high-precision optical systems with plastic lenses
08.02.2017 | Imos Gubela has many years of experience in the development of high-precision optical systems. The company simulates and produces high-precision optical systems with plastic lenses from prototypes to series production. The optics specialist relies on a simulation tool that takes into account the material and production-related tolerances.
Modern plastics offer a number of advantages over glass for the manufacture of optical systems. Plastic lenses are significantly lighter, can be quickly manufactured in large quantities and are relatively easy to assemble into complex systems. However, material-specific characteristics must be taken into account for the optimal design of the lens and frame.
Humidity, ambient temperature and mechanical stresses caused by incorrect lens mounting affect the optical beam path more easily than with glass lenses. For the development of high-precision optical devices such as sensors, Optical systems Thanks to modern computing power, it is at least superficially easy to simulate. However, in practice there are unavoidable deviations from the ideal conditions in the manufacture of lenses and the conditions at the place of use also have to be taken into account.
In addition to the theoretical principles, the simulation tool used also takes into account all material and production-related tolerances. In the connected production, even complex plastic lens systems can then be manufactured precisely in series production on the basis of the simulation. For example, the deviation of a double lens with two different focal lengths is only 3 μm. Statistically speaking, one million lenses only one or two optics deviate from the calculated value.
When implementing an optical idea, the simulation takes into account a large number of parameters depending on the later application conditions, which are not necessarily immediately apparent. For example, the usual optical plastics such as PMMA (Plexiglas), for example, in their expansion when there are fluctuations in temperature or humidity (plastics breathe). For precise Sensors, which are used in different climate zones around the world, this must be taken into account during development. A combination of lenses that compensate for each other's changes in temperature, for example, is one solution.
The mount of the lens system is also included in the calculation process. Is it suitable for practical use or does it cause tension, does the unit warp when heated or exposed to moisture? Are the tolerances of the lens mount, the light source and the detector such that the optical system works as expected? Even the smallest deviations of less than 1/10 mm are crucial here. The specialists simulate the Interaction of all influences from the lens to the frame to the seal.
