SABR - shaft design and analysis
From single-section shafts for initial concept sizing to complex multi-node arrangements for full and detailed system analysis, SABR allows users to model transmission shafts quickly and efficiently.
SABR automatically calculates stress-concentration factors, which can include oil holes, circlip grooves and fillet radii at diameter steps. The effect of bores and tapered shaft arrangements can be modelled by updating a sectional view of the shaft. Detailed output of the shaft analysis is given for deflections as well as the key stresses, including torsional, shear and von Mises.
