Short Information

The TBK software allows to calculate, design and optimize machine elements. The software works according to generally accepted standards (e.g., DIN, ISO and AGMA). For nearly 25 years, TBK is a widely accepted calculation software and is used in medium-sized companies. The calculation modules are developed in close co-operation with GWJ and the customers. According to helpful suggestions of users, a certain structure of the various program parts is accomplished over the years which leaves nothing to be desired, especially with regard to practical experience.

The calculation software is continually expanded and improved to adapt the calculation routines to the way the state-of-the-art technology and the DIN specifications will evolve.

The software consists of individual calculation modules. The software allows to combine individual calculation modules together into a customized version that meets the requirements of the user. Specific calculation routines, which may contain special know-how that not every user should have access to, can be added to the standard software. The content and layout of the calculation reports can be adjusted to the needs of an individual user.

The main menu enables the user to start the calculation modules. Then, different configurations can be selected. The user is guided step-by-step through the inputs and is supported with suggestions. The calculated data will remain on the screen during the entire calculation and are updated continuously. The user can change values at any time and gets a solutions very quickly and efficiently. All necessary data and tabular values are included into the program parts and files. As far as possible, no other tools are necessary.

The application does not allow any incorrect inputs. The user gets an appropriate message. Input values that may lead to unrealistic results are allowed, but the results are marked accordingly.

In case the user has to enter the same values very often, the values can be saved in a default setting file. There is no longer a need to re-enter data over and over again. That saves both time and work.
