Clarify the small questions,
before they become big ones
Determining technical base values—from forces and stresses
to geometry and tolerances.
Calculate technical fundamentals right where they're needed
Many engineering tasks do not begin with a complex design, but with simple questions:
What stresses are generated? What geometric values do I need? How does a component change with temperature? Which tolerance chain is critical? The basic modules provide quick answers and complement the specialized MDESIGN calculations.
Establish standards, accelerate engineering
MDESIGN provides a consistent basis for calculations across the entire team. Structured data entry, centrally maintained calculation bases, and consistent documentation ensure that results remain traceable and comparable across projects.
For over 40 years, MDESIGN has been helping companies calculate and design technical components—today with more than 35,000 users worldwide.
Core modules bundled in one compact package
Numerous specialized modules are available for standard and basic tasks. They assist with quick preliminary calculations, technical plausibility checks, and recurring engineering problems.
Quickly determine technical indicators
The basic modules provide essential values for sizing, design, and verification—such as forces, stresses, movements, cross-section values, tolerances, pressures, or geometric parameters.
