In some cases (module < 1 mm, ...) tolerances were not calculated correctly for the quality 7 grade of DIN 3962/DIN3963. This is now fixed.

SP3 Helix angle modification (parallel) according to ISO 1328
The helix angle modification (parallel) was not applied correctly when
1) the option "Use the definition of the helix angle modification (parallel) as a helix slope deviation according to ISO 1328" in the module specific setting is activated and
2) the gear is left-hand helical gear.
In this case, the modification was applied to opposite direction, that the effective helix angle decreased when the modification is positive. The negative modification had opposite effect. There was no problem for spur gear and right-hand helix helical gear.
When you have the above condition, the tooth form was wrong, and thus the 3D model and the contact analysis was wrong.
For detailed explanation of the definition of the helix angle modification, please contact to our support (support@KISSsoft.AG) for an instruction (KISSsoft Instruction 117).
