Release 4.7 available ahead of Release 5 for Gearbox Design

This sub-release was not fully intentioned as Dontyne has been working hard on the Release 5 including bevel gear, bearing, and shaft Standards as well as a fully coupled system model for deflection.

Product Presentation (PDF)

This development represents a significant increase in design and analysis possibility and is scheduled for the end of summer September 2012. A beta is available on request.

It was felt that there are significant enough changes to offer an update to the 4 series. Our release 4.7 is available for customers contacting support@dontynesystems.com for a new installation.
