Disc Spring Solver

Note: The app is no longer supported, so it is now impossible to purchase the application. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page

Mechanics professionals and those who are working with springs and associated technology could be requiring a software solution for assessing the performance of such assemblies. Disc Spring Solver is an application that was developed to offer people an accessible way of testing the performance of spring assemblies, adjust the governing parameters and perform various calculations and plotting.

The application comes packed with an interface that carries numerous fields where one can enter specifications for the loaded spring projects. Several sections divide the different data, enabling one to identify the required parameters faster.

Specifications for friction, spring plots, deflection load or stack properties can be added directly from the main interface and a dedicated section allows one to insert even more information. Several tabs offer data input for load, deflection, stress, rate-work and fatigue.

Users will be able to also visualize the characteristics of the loaded spring assemblies and the utility offers several basic plotting tools. Graphs for the load, characteristic curve or friction can be easily toggled and easy handling through mouse operation allows people to navigate in them.

A dedicated 3D visualizer enables people to preview the spring assembly, rotate it and visualize its corresponding dimensions, all with great ease. Springs can be created from scratch and the utility offers users a detailed specifications sheet, where one can input data for guide diameter, maximum inside diameter, stack height, load, temperature, material and many other parameters.

This application addresses those who seek for a reliable utility for testing the performance of various springs and spring assemblies. It will provide a comprehensive parametrization tool that allows people to define the specifications of numerous characteristics for springs. Also packed with plotting tools, it enables one to visualize the inputted parameters.
