Calculate today the way you'll works as an engineer tomorrow
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 become familiar with this process during your studies or vocational training. Digital assistants, technical data, calculation methods, and graphical tools guide you through each calculation—helping you not only reach a result, but also understand how professional technical calculation works.
Understanding complex calculations more easily
Particularly with new calculation topics, the formula itself is often not the issue, but rather the underlying context. MDESIGN therefore supports you with transparent calculation procedures, graphical representations, and digital aids directly during your work.
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 calculation task to flawless documentation
Got an assignment involving a shaft, bolt, gear, or another machine element? With MDESIGN, you can worh through it step by step and see how the task develops into a complete engineering 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 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: view and understand calculation paths, safeties, and utilization rates to see why a result is generated.
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-based calculations. In addition, MDESIGN student offers you a comprehensive calculation environment with extra modules, digital aids, documentation, and project organization.
