Coming Soon - IGS Service Pack 3

We're getting ready to release the latest upgrade to Integrated Gear Software. Our gear engineer, Jim, filled me in on some of the new features. Now IGS will have Range Analysis, an Exported File Set Viewer, Gear Mesh Animation, a DXF converter, and Ticona M15HP. There are a few other changes (minor features, bug fixes, etc.); these will be officially announced with the release.

• Range Analysis:
  Range Analysis allows you to select a variable from the model to assign a range of values. You may select up to seven dependent variables to tabulate. Simply assign values to the independent variable and solve for the range. Values for each dependent variable will be computed for each value of the independent variable. All values are then presented in a table that may be conveniently printed in a professional looking report.

• Exported File Set Viewer:
  When importing a data file from one of several archived .igs files, it can be difficult to find the archive you need. Previously, one had to load each archive in order to view its contents. Now, the Exported File Set Viewer allows you to see the contents of the archive before loading it, similar to viewing the contents of a .zip file.

• Gear Mesh Animation:
  Now you can animate the mesh while viewing the gear mesh plot in 60-400, 60-450 or 60-610. The animator will rotate the gears through the length of the active profile, allowing you to observe contact conditions and root clearances.

• DXF Converter:
  Licensed users of 60-410, 60-460 and 60-470 will now be able to easily export tooth coordinates for shaped, hobbed and formed teeth. This converter will generate a DXF and ASCII file of “X” and “Y” coordinates to many more significant decimal places than the old converter. Simply enter in the list names and click convert. The “X” and “Y” list names can be obtained from the plot sub sheet. When the converted file is loaded into CAD, a polyline of the tooth profile is constructed with its center at coordinates 0,0.

• Material Added to 60-610
  Ticona M15HP has been added to the program. M15HP Celcon (POM) is a higher performance acetal copolymer.
