2022 September 4thWeek WBM News Recommendation - GWJ Technology Optimizes SystemManager

GWJ Technology GmbH introduces a new version of SystemManager as an extension of eAssistant as a web solution and TBK as a classic desktop application.

SystemManager is an easy-to-use extension of the GWJ solutions eAssistant and TBK for individual machine elements, such as shafts, bearings, connections and various gear types, for the design and optimization of gearbox systems, such as multi-stage gearboxes, power-split and manual gearboxes, etc. In the latest version of the SystemManager, template files or examples with subdirectories can be structured and also created by the user.

Result graphics are no longer only available for individual load elements of a load spectrum, it is now also possible to display all load spectrum elements in one graphic. This is advantageous, for example, for evaluating flank modifications by means of the line load curve over the facewidth.

An axial offset for the gear force can be defined in case the gears are considered as point loads. This axial offset can also be varied within the load spectrum. An axial offset can be defined for masses and imbalances, in this case the distance between the center of mass and the force element. This also allows a center of mass outside of the shaft geometry.

For the transfer to the individual calculations from the TBK or eAssistant, the gear data for different calculations is now saved for the gear element and thus kept consistent.

When using 3D elastic components, positioning has been made easier and the mesh can be split into several subdomains, e.g., to define different material properties.
