KISSsoft:

General:

- Crash related to rights check fixed

- Save file as template did not work

Gear calculation:

- Calculation of Planetary Gear Sets with Duty Cycles: Negative rpm factors were considered as positive

- Transmission error calculation: Warning if tooth jam because of excessive bending may occur

- Fine sizing and rough sizing: For planets, limit for minimum transmission ratio reduced from 2.2 to 2.05

- Splines according DIN5481: The 30x34 spline according the file "DIN5481_30x34_a11-A11_fein.Z9A" respects the measure over rolls data given in table 3 of DIN5481; but NOT the thickness of the gap Emax, Emin. There is a mistake in this DIN table!

- Correction in the reports: the unit wasn't set by the width of intermediate groove (double helical)

- Additional input variant for 'Generate cylindrical gear with hobbing cutter' (in tab Tooth form): Input of Cutter data, choice for length (in mm or inch) or factor. Proposition for haP0*.

- Setting of Accuracy of calculation for Path of contact calculation improved

- Infinite loop by excessive bending in Path of contact calculation fixed

- DXF file names containing umlauts could not be read

- Tip diameter tolerance according ISO wasn't updated automatically for gear 2

- Active tip circle was not always drawn correctly in gear pair graphics

- For cylindrical gears the automatic proposition for l,s,dsh (Planets lPla) is rounded to 0.1 mm (before to 1.0 mm); This to avoid in some cases too big changes in KHb when changing the module sligthly

- Path of contact calculation was wrong when the overlap ratio is very large

- The color scale in the fine sizing graphic was not always drawn correctly

- An input of mass temperature (theM) was not considered in the scuffing calculation according ISO 13989

Worm gear calculation:

- Conversion of calculation with Duty Cycle improved

- Calculation with negative input speed fixed

- 3D model for ZA tooth form included

Shaft calculation:

- Graphics failed if a gears with same diameter as the shaft was applied

- Improved the message showing the load element number when the load spectrum calculation fails.

- DIN 743 strength calculation: With compression stress the medium stress sigzdm and sigbm can become negativ according to DIN 743, this was not considered in the calculation

- Load spectrum calculation having worm element with efficiency less than 100% fixed

- The meshing calculation of the lead correction factor is only posible when a gear is defined

- Temporary file of a bearing calculation were written to the wrong temp directory

- Graphic load distribution did not draw useful dimensions for high loads

- When reopening the sizing of roller bearing dialog, the current bearing was not selected

- Graphic strength crashed if the calculation of one section failed

- Consider gears as mass and as stiffness was not correctly working with bevel gears

Bearing calculation:

- Bolt calculation: rebuild the stripping strength window with calculation and report button

- Polygon: the calculation method list was wrong readed

- Note on bearing calculation correction of patch 2 ( The bearing clearance is now properly calculated and taken into account when a general radial load (XZ plane) acts on the shaft.): The clearance distribution was considered as in a square window and not as in concentric circle window. The correction is implemented for the first shaft only, even if in the same file multiple shafts may exist. We suggest the user defines a separate model file for each shaft.

- The bearing clearance is now properly calculated and taken into account when a general radial load (XZ plane) acts on the shaft

- Friction torque according to SKF 2004 wasn't calculated in some cases

- The tapered roller bearing length Lwe wasn't read correctly in bearing calculation according to ISO 16281

CAD interfaces:

- Think 3: Cylindrical gear was always with helix right (not left)

- ProEngineer: adding additional variables directly to the CAD system wasn't working correctly

- 3D Geometry (Parasolid): Positioning of system model for planetary gear and face gear fixed

- The CATIA interface wasn't shown in the list 'CAD program for 3D Export'

- NX6 interface dll wasn't signed correctly

- Interface for ProEngineer Wildfire 5 32bit wasn't completed

KISS Editor:

- kissEditor: language selection

KISSsys:

General:

- improvement in calculation performance. Time for calculations reduced

- A "ksyslog.txt" file was created in every "KISS" temporal folder, created in every calculation. Only one will be now saved in the folder set for "TEMPDIR" in kiss.ini

Templates:

- "Bearing1.n": fixed speed(n) expression

- Shaft and CoaxialShaft calculations: added new members "HousingTemp" for housing temperature, "Impurity" for oil impurity and "BearingCalcMethod"

- Shaft calculation: added new members "Temp" for shaft temperature and "ShaftCalcMethod" for shaft (strength) calculation method

- Gear calculation: added new members bmnMax, bmnMin, bd1Min, ba_min, ba_max, MaxZaZahl and MinZaZahl for rough sizing values

- Lubricant "deleted from the database" message shown when adding new calculations. Lubricant member default value changed

Shaft calculation:

- The bearing type is shown in the warning message when the bearing relative speed is zero. This makes easy to find the bearing that causes the warning. It is particularly useful in multiple shaft calculations with a lot of connecting bearings

Classes:

- Added the conections corresponding to the new members in the templates

- "sizing" method for kSoftHelicalGearPair, kSoftPlanetGearSet and kSoftThreeHelicalGears didn't return any information values. Now it will return "1"(true) or "0"(false) when sizing is performed

- KISSsys.SetPositionFromWormGear: to work correctly for every case, specially for coaxial shafts

Important general note
In large networks the KISSsoft-Explorer-tab may take minutes to initialize, thus slowing down the start up time of KISSsoft. In such cases we recommend to do the following:

- Start KISSsoft

- When KISSsoft is opened, close the Explorer tab (typically located left top next to the "projects" and "modules" tab)

- Close KISSsoft: The information, that the Explorer is not to be used, is stored automatically

- If you want to reopen the Explorer, you can do this any time by activating it in the "view"-menu
