MITCalc - Planetary Gearing

MITCalc - Planetary Gearing is a powerful piece of software that is specifically designed to work in Microsoft Excel. The application specializes in helping you design and test various types of gears that correspond to the mechanical engineering field. It supports Imperial and Metric units, certified algorithms and data from several international standards, such as ANSI, DIN, BS and ISO.

Since MITCalc - Planetary Gearing relies on the installation of Excel on your host computer, and is in fact an add-in, using it shouldn't pose any problems for users that are accustomed to working with spreadsheets.

The application's workbook is split into several worksheets that contain all the information you need in order to create straight-cut, external or helical gears. From the main window, you can access specific worksheets, such as Calculation, Coordinates, Material, Tables, Options, DXF, Data and Dictionary.

Because it is an application that runs within Excel, you can easily enter computational data in each selected cell. Also, you can change calculation units, parameters, numeric values or dimensions.

With each value that you change, MITCalc - Planetary Gearing keeps track of all these modifications and constantly updates the results with every step that you make, allowing you to follow your progress.

The built-in algorithms allow you to compute strength parameters, check dimensions, design shafts and draw 2D or 3D CAD systems using the item's coordinates and geometric parameters.

MITCalc - Planetary Gearing is a powerful utility that provides both mechanical students and engineers with multiple solutions for designing and verifying gear models for their projects. Even though the installation process goes smoothly, a small note is in order, before installing the application, you need to set a level of protection in MS Excel that allows you to use VBA macros.
