Parametric study is a common practice in engineering calculations. It involves changing different parameters in the model and investigating their influence on the final results of the calculation. Parametric analyses are usually carried out by means of some kind of scripting or programming language. KISSsoft® supports parametric analysis through its integrated scripting language or a COM interface, which is compatible with popular programming languages such as Python, Visual Basic, and others.
In addition to many other variables already available via COM interface and SKRIPT, KISSsoft introduces the ability to modify shaft geometry, forces, and bearings by calling the special function SetElementData (elementName, parameterName, newValue). This enhancement significantly simplifies the variation of any parameter in the shaft model. A typical application is, for instance, the evaluation of how bearing position influences the rolling bearing rating life, as well as an analysis of the effects of clearance or preload on it. The results can be written in an external file, making them easily accessible to third-party applications. These improvements make KISSsoft an even more powerful tool for carrying out fast parametric analyses of your designs.

Webinar on September 16, 2025
This webinar will demonstrate the process of defining a hobbing cutter tool in KISSsoft, along with the specification of both pre-machining and final machining tolerance. By utilizing the rollout analysis, the process ensures adequate grinding stock is available and the gear profile remains within the defined tolerance limits under all manufacturing variations.
