Start doing calculations today, just as you will later in your engineering career
The full-featured professional calculation software for college and vocational training.
Professional engineering software at a student price.
Don't just get results. Learn engineering.
In the day-to-day work of an engineer, simply applying a formula is not enough. Engineers must understand technical problems, design components, perform verification calculations, evaluate results, and document their decisions in a way that is easy to follow.
With " MDESIGN : Student," you’ll become familiar with this process while you’re still in college or vocational training. Digital assistants, technical data, calculation methods, and graphical aids guide you through the calculation process—so that you not only arrive at the result but also understand how professional technical calculations work.
Understanding Complex Calculations More Easily
Especially when it comes to new math problems, the formula isn't usually the problem, but rather the underlying concept. That's why MDESIGN supports you with easy-to-follow step-by-step solutions, visual representations, and digital tools right as you work through the problems.
Don't just use it—understand it
See what inputs a calculation requires, which variables are related, and how changes directly affect the result .
See what's behind the task
Graphical representations and 3D views help you understand geometries, loads, and technical relationships more quickly .
Record your results directly for your submission
Input data, calculation bases, and results are documented in a structured manner— which is useful for exercises, assignments, projects, and term papers.
Many topics. One app.
You have plenty to do—and doing technical calculations entirely by hand takes time. MDESIGN student supports you exactly where tasks become more complex.
From screws and Shafts to bearings and Gearings to strength, Springs or Pipelines: Many typical topics from college and vocational training are available to you right within the app.

From the Calculation Problem to a Neat Solution
Have you been assigned a problem involving a Shaft, screw, gear, or another machine element? With MDESIGN , you can work through it step by step and see how the problem statement is transformed into a complete calculation.
Understand the task
What values are given, what are you trying to find, and what constraints do you need to take into account?
Set Up the Calculation
Enter geometry, loads, and material data. Wizards and predefined data help you compile the correct information .
Review the Results
Don't just get a number: Examine the calculation methods, Safeties , and workload figures, and understand why a particular result is obtained.
Document the transfer
Clearly summarize inputs, calculation bases, and results—for exercises, projects, assignments, or term papers.
Three editions—varying levels of support
The " Roloff/Matek " and " Decker " editions focus on selected, textbook-related calculations. " MDESIGN Student" also offers you a comprehensive computing environment with additional modules, digital resources, documentation, and project organization.
