Optimised shaft editor in KISSsoft 2019

In the 2019 release of KISSsoft, which is a Gleason company, the shaft editor has been extended and its handling optimised (WPK module). In addition, a 3D viewer tab has been added in which the shaft, including the forces, can be displayed immediately during modelling.

Further advances in KISSsoft 2019 include a toolbar that has been expanded to complement the general context menu: the most important settings of the user interface are now directly available, such as the moving of forces and bearings. Within the editor, shafts can now be selected with a mouse click and relocated with all associated elements.

In order to simplify the handling of the display layers for complex models in the shaft editor, the functions ‘Bring Frontward’ and ‘Send Backward’ have been integrated into the context menu of the shaft. The layers can also be edited via the newly added ‘Layer’ column in the ‘Shaft Overview’ (displayed in the ‘Element Editor’ window when clicking on the empty area of the element tree). Additionally, an editable ‘Colour’ column has been added.
