Design automation and optimisation tools leverage the system design and analysis capabilities of RomaxDesigner. They provide automated design creation and decision support through template-based design, optimisation processes and sensitivity analysis.
Design Automation
Template based design modules utilise knowledge bases and analytical methods to provide automatic sizing and design guidance for transmissions systems and sub-assemblies.
Current functions available are:
- Gear pair designer
- Gear train designer
- Planetary gear designer
- Bearing preloads
Component Optimisation
These modules provide "point solutions" for many common component optimisation studies. Each module is designed from an applications point of view to provide easy to use and reliable optimisation tools.
Current optimisations available are:
- Gear macro geometry for durability and manufacturability
- Gear micro geometry for minimising contact load and transmission error (TE)
Full System Optimisation
A range of tools is available which enables the optimisation and automatic experimentation on all critical transmissions performance attributes. This offers unparalleled ease in producing system optimisation studies, analysing build and manufacturing tolerances and gaining root understanding of system architectural sensitivities.
Modules are available for:
- Design of Experiments (DoE)
- Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
- System Optimisation (Genetic Algorithm and Gradient Search)
- Robust Optimisation and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) |
