SystemManager software allows for a fast and easy design of complete systems of machine elements. The individual system elements are directly linked to the eAssistant/TBK calculation modules. In the new version 04/2017, housings can be imported as STEP files, and the system will do an automatic FEM meshing. The integrated FEM is able to take into account the deformation and stiffness of the housing throughout the system. 3D elastic parts can be imported as Nastran mesh, too. The 3D elastic parts will be considered for calculation of eigenfrequencies using modal reduction. Just like housings, planet carriers and shafts can be imported as 3D elastic parts.
