Special training course about contact analysis
This special training course about contact analysis for calculating cylindrical- , bevel gear pairs and planetary
systems will cover the theoretical foundations of contact analysis, which are required for sizing and optimizing
gear units with regard to noise, transmission error, transverse contact ratio and tooth trace modifications.
This training course is designed for engineers who are already familiar with cylindrical gears and planetary
gear units. The course assumes that participants already know how to use the KISSsoft user interface, either
because they use the software on a regular basis or because they have already attended an introductory
training course. Before attending the course, interested participants can ask for a 30 day test version from
KISSsoft AG in order to become familiar with the basic functionality of the software. We also recommend they
attend the advanced training course about gear calculation, because a sound knowledge of geometry and
strength calculation is essential for properly understanding the contents of this course.
The first part of the training course uses the calculation of the face load factor as an introduction to the more
detailed theory of contact pattern calculation. The course explains essential issues such as modeling and
stiffness, and also goes into detail about how to check and interpret the results.
The second part of the course covers the special topics involved in contact analysis, such as how to take into
account shaft deformation and planetary gear units. Participants will then reinforce what they have learned
by using the powerful sizing and optimization functions.
Participants will not only be provided with detailed and extensive documentation during the course, but will
also be given the latest software release with full functionality for a period of 30 days. Participants must bring
a laptop (with a working USB port (and read/write permission)) to the course so they can perform the
exercises. If necessary, KISSsoft will provide a laptop.
In order to deepen the content of the two days training, we offer an optional day with a workshop. The
trainer will take care of the individual questions and goals of the participants. The seats for this additional
day are restricted to 10.
