Chapter 1 I-20 Description of the calculation modules
2.9 K05m Inventor interface
The interface between Inventor and KISSsoft is achieved by direct integration in
the 3D CAD system. Use this to start all KISSsoft calculation modules directly
from within Inventor. Face or bevel gears calculated in KISSsoft can be generated
directly in Inventor as a 3D part with a real tooth form. From KISSsoft, in the tooth
form calculation module, you simply press a button to start Inventor. This opens a
new part and generates the appropriate part. You can create spur or helical cylindrical
gears, which are external or internal, or straight-toothed bevel gears, as defined
in DIN 3971, Figure 1. Furthermore, you have the option of adding toothing
to existing shafts. If you insert a reference layer to a side face of an existing shaft
and then select it, the tooth form is cut out there on the shaft blank. In the 2D area,
the interface also gives you the option of adding gear manufacturing data automatically
as a text field on thedrawing. The gear manufacturing data is attached to the
relevant cutout (tooth space).
2.10 K05n NX interface
The interface between NX and KISSsoft is achieved by direct integration in the 3D
CAD system. Use this to start all KISSsoft calculation modules directly from within
NX. Cylindrical or bevel gears calculated in KISSsoft can be generated directly
in NX as a 3D part with a real tooth form. You can create spur or helical cylindrical
gears with straight or sloping teeth, which are external or internal. Furthermore,
you have the option of adding toothing to existing shafts. If you insert a reference
layer to a side face of an existing shaft and then select it, the tooth form is cut out
there on the shaft blank. In the 2D area, the interface also gives you the option of
adding gear manufacturing data automatically as a text field on the drawing. The
gear manufacturing data is attached to the relevant cutout (tooth space).
2.11 K05o* CATIA interface
Cylindrical or bevel gears calculated in KISSsoft can be generated directly in CAT-
IA V5 as a 3D part with a real tooth form. You must open CATIA V5 before you
start a 3D generation in KISSsoft. In CATIA V5, this then opens a new part and the
appropriate part is generated. You can create spur or helical cylindrical gears,
which are external or internal. In the 2D area, the interface also gives you the option
of adding gear manufacturing data automatically as a text field on the drawing.
2.12 K05p* CoCreate interface
Cylindrical or bevel gears calculated in KISSsoft can be generated directly in
CoCreate Modeling as a 3D part with a real tooth form. From KISSsoft, in the
tooth form calculation module, simply press a button to start CoCreate. This opens
a new part and generates the appropriate part. You can create spur or helical cylindrical
gears, which are external or internal, or straight-toothed bevel gears, as defined
in DIN 3971, Figure 1.
