MITCalc version 1.50

Decin, Czech Republic, 09/15/2008

The MITCalc engineering calculations were extended by:

- New planet gear calculation
- New welded connections calculation
- French translation (full localization)
- Chinese translation (full localization)
- Other modifications, corrections and enhancements

Planet Gear

The calculation is intended for the geometric and stress design and inspection of the planetary gearing with straight and helical teeth. The revolution speeds for the individual members are easy to design, including for gear sets with two degrees of freedom (differentials). Gears can be designed for chosen safety factors. In addition, the design calculation makes it possible to use many optimization methods, such as the selection of appropriate corrections to offset relative sliding minimize relative sliding, required strength, etc. Besides a number of additional calculations (such as designing of accurate width between centers, calculation of inspection dimensions, etc.), tools for the plotting of the exact tooth shape are available. This makes it possible to use all the data in gear manufacturing and creation of an accurate 3D model. (More...)

Welded connections

The calculation is intended for the geometric design and stress inspection of welded joints of carbon steel machinery structures under static loads. The program makes it possible to design over 50 of the most common forms of welded joints, exposed to various combinations of loads. Joints consisting of butt welds, fillet welds, plug welds, slot welds and spot (resistance) welds can be designed and inspected. The program offers approximately 700 carbon steels suitable for welding under a number of material standards, and dimension tables for a number of steel profiles under multiple standards. (More...)

Other modifications, corrections and extensions of MITCalc calculations

- Translations: Complete translation into French; extended Chinese translation of help.
- CAD: Support for AutoCAD 2009, support for current versions of 3D CAD systems.
- Spur gearing (internal, external): Calculation of maximum output for chosen dimensions, offset of relative sliding, minimization of relative sliding, detailed stress calculation, more accurate safety calculation, faster calculations.
- Worm gear: Fixed calculation of Mk1, Mk2.
- Roller chains: Finding of a valid solution for a given chain type; fixed switching between chain types.
- Cone belts: Fixed fill of diameter selection buttons.
- Shafts: Fixed graph for Office 2007 (freezing calculations).
