GPS Release 3.0

Release 3.0 contains a new module for the conception of planetary gear drives. This tool allows the concept design of a gearbox including components such as clutches, connections and multiple power inputs and outputs. The resulting power flows can be tested for various load levels. It also contains a new module for the design and rating of planetary gear systems. This tool can also calculate for multiple load cases.

The release also provides several improvements to the modules including remote operation to allow access to calculations from bespoke customer software, and batch file operation to quickly analyse design changes across a design space in Gear Design Pro. The Concept Tool now has drive train, bevel and variable ratio coupling elements to improve versatility.

Several sample concepts are provided with the tutorials in the installation.
