MDESIGN software solutions

Calculation made easy

Document, proof, inform

User interface for engineers

Everyone knows it: If you need specific information to solve a design task, it is usually not directly accessible. With the MDESIGN explorer environment, a wealth of answers are available centrally in one place: Calculation libraries, formulas, material data or manufacturer and product information. The modern and intuitive design guarantees quick orientation.

Material data & strength assessment

safety through fast information

The arithmetical proof of strength for machine components according to FKM guideline presents challenges for users owing to the cross-part applicability, for example. Produce proofs of strength in accordance with the directive for welded and non-welded components in a short space of time with MDESIGN technology. In addition, access an extensive material database and expand it individually.

Screw connections, bolts & pins

Safety in screw calculation

Use MDESIGN as a powerful tool to design and optimize screw connections in a functionally safe way according to guideline VDI 2230, Eurocode 3 or DIN.

Shafts, axles, hubs

Optimize and design drive shafts

Use MDESIGN to optimize, evaluate and prove the safety of shafts and shaft-hub connections.

Roller & Plane Bearings, Linear Technology

Calculate bearing life

MDESIGN allows you to calculate the loads of different bearing types. Determine service life and required boundary conditions of lubrication and maintenance.

Gearing, gears, drive technology

Calculate powerful drive systems

Different gear shapes are calculated and verified on the basis of DIN, EN, AGMA and ISO regulations. Gear modules for assemblies allow additional geometry, mass and installation space optimizations. The micro-geometry of gears is also optimized with specially created MDESIGN modules. For new and further optimized competitive drive solutions.

Welded connections, soldered & bonded joints

Optimal design of permanent connections

In addition to the design of brazed and riveted joints, the focus is on weld seam calculations and their safety verification. Depending on the requirements profile, this is based on the FKM guideline, Eurocode 3 or the DVS data sheets. If adhesive bonding methods are a required connection, the calculation accesses an adhesive database with characteristic values from numerous manufacturers.

Apparatuses, pipelines, sealings

Optimal results under pressure

The new MDESIGN process library supports numerous tasks related to pressure loss calculations, wall thickness determination, flange and pressure vessel calculations. Based on the standard-compliant fundamentals according to DIN, EN and AD data sheets, these requirements are quickly solved and then automatically documented.

Springs & shock absorbers

Simulate and optimize springs

MDESIGN performs design and recalculation of many spring shapes and types. With access to material data for spring materials, not only strengths, geometries and characteristic parameters can be calculated. Spring characteristics and diagrams in connection with the simulation of the loaded spring lead to a quick assessment. The finished spring model is available for further use via the Step interface.

Beams & Frames

Load-bearing elements for the product design phase

Determine deflection, bearing forces, tensions and torques for beams, structures, plates, frames and bars according to DIN standards and ensure maximum safety in your design.

Communication & Interfaces

Use results and models in further systems

Digitization requires communication between different programs and systems. MDESIGN not only connects via step format for model exchange. For documentation and visualization PDF/A, XML and HTML data ensure professional data exchange.

Integration & Automation

Integrate data, automate processes

In addition to standard calculations, in-house methods and selection systems must be made usable by own employees with modern and economical systems. This expertise is directly converted into processes and applications with MDESIGN author and MDESIGN batch. Immediately applicable in the well-known MDESIGN explorer architecture.
