What's new in Disc Spring Solver 3.20R
Sep 23, 2017
- As many of our customers asked us, Disc Spring Solver now allows the user to look at the preview of the CAD drawing that can be exported in DXF or IGS format.
- A new checking algorithm has been inserted that allows the user to verify if the inserted measures are valid for a disc spring. The condition to satisfy is that De' must be greater than Di'.
- As De' and Di' both depend by the angle at the spring base and being Disc Spring Solver the unique software offering a valid algorithm to calculate that angle (as shown in the CAD section), consequently this is the unique software that can offer that kind of check.
New in Disc Spring Solver 3.00R (Sep 29, 2016)
- Disc Spring Solver includes now the opportunity to create stacks made with packets composed by different kinds of disc springs. By clicking on the "Different springs" option it is possible to create a list of disc springs that may have different height, thickness, material, etc... and that will be part of the stack, in this way you can create and evaluate an infinte number of spring stacks. Disc Spring Solver is the only one software in the world that gives you this opportunity.
- A new feature allows to check if a disc spring is dimensionally right by evaluating the sOM for the limit deflection, also a table reporting the ultimate tensile strength for a long list of materials is included.
- The calculation algorithms have been refined so now you can more easily manage very particular kinds of disc spring, as the ones having a h0/t ratio greater than v2.
New in Disc Spring Solver 2.00 (Oct 25, 2013)
- Disc Spring Solver includes now the possibility to choose which calculation method to use in order to foresee the performances of disc springs. With the new set of equations called "Ferrari's method" (from the author of the related paper), the calculations results will be more precise for every kind of disc spring but particularly for disc springs with contact flats and reduced thickness. For reduced disc springs, in fact, as shown in the mentioned article, standard equations dramatically fail and the new method by Ferrari is the only working properly.
- A new feature allows to check if a disc springs with contact flats and reduced thickness is a valid reduced disc spring and can suggest the right t'/t ratio value that a reduced spring should have in order to be considered valid.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.30 (Oct 7, 2011)
- A new MDI (Multiple Document Interface) has been developed, now it is possible to create and compare different springs more comfortably.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.29 (Jul 19, 2011)
- The 3D visualizer feature for the springs arrangement has been improved, so, as some users requested us, you can save the arrangements and reload them in future sessions
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.28 (Jun 21, 2011)
- The report creator has been improved and now it is possible to convert the created report in a odf file,
- As reqeusted by one of our customers, the 3D visualizer has been further improved and now it is possible to visualize up to 10 springs arranged starting from the first at (0,0) and setting the distance from it
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.27 (Jun 8, 2011)
- The 3D visualizer has been improved
- An "explosion" feature has been added.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.26 (Apr 26, 2011)
- The "Suggestions" feature has been enhanced, now you can add filters also on standards (ANSI, CSN, DIN, GOST).
- The included spring database has been enriched and modified and contains now more than 1000 records.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.25 (Apr 26, 2011)
- 'Suggestions' feature Disc Spring Solver can now suggest you the spring to use in order to satisfy at your requests.
- The included spring database has been enriched and contains now more than 850 records.
- Bugs concerning the conversion algo have been fixed.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.07 (Nov 25, 2010)
- Now the plots are fully customizable and it is possible to add the spring data to the plot.
- Fixed some bugs concerning springs with contact flats and reduced thickness.
New in Disc Spring Solver 1.06 (Nov 25, 2010)
- New DXF and IGES converters
