SKF SimPro Quick features
- Intuitive stepwise graphical interface
- Improved guidance, warning system, 3D visualization and animation
- Single-shaft simulation with multiple bearings and comprehensive modelling capabilities, including multiple gear types, lubricants, springs, spacers, housing and operating conditions
- Full range of SKF bearings available, using product data from SKF rolling bearing catalogue
- Intuitive bearing selection wizard
- Various analysis and output options for bearing arrangement performance evaluation
- Calculation of bearing load, loaded zone, contact stress, bearing life, friction, frequencies, grease re-lubrication interval, grease life and shaft deflection
- Calculation of basic rating life, SKF rating life and modified reference rating life according to ISO/TS 16281:2008
Latest Features:
- Users can import IGS files they’ve built, so that their specific shaft can easily be loaded into SimPro to explore new bearing settings, instead of creating a shaft manually
- Instead of applying different separate housings to bearings, users can now apply a single bearing across the entire shaft and vary its dimensions as necessary. The length, diameter, bore, type, and material can all be varied across different sections
- New shaft stress modelling, covering bending moment, bending stress, shaft stress combined, and shear force
- New chart for ISO/TS 16281:2008 modified reference rating life vs axial pre-displacement – calculating how long it will last with different levels of preload
- Updated reporting templates, with additional warnings generated that flag up any parameters that may be breached when the bearing is in operation
- Outer ring rotation can be added to a model in seconds
