ENGINEERING WORKSPACES

Start with the
engineering problem.

Engineering rarely begins with a formula. It begins with a shaft that needs sizing, a bend that needs developing, a pump that needs checking, or a material that needs selecting.

AIEngineeringTool organizes the calculations and technical information around that problem.

Shaft Engineering

Size and evaluate rotating shafts using loading, material and geometry inputs.

Open workspace

Sheet Metal Engineering

Develop bends, flat patterns and forming requirements from actual part conditions.

Open workspace

Fluid Systems

Work through pipe flow, pressure, pump power and related system calculations.

Open Fluid Systems Workspace

Materials & Shape Weight

Calculate section area, volume and theoretical stock weight from dimensions and material density.

Open workspace

Thermal Engineering

Evaluate heat-transfer problems using clear assumptions and traceable equations.

Open heat-transfer calculation

Material Selection

Compare engineering materials using the properties that matter for the application.

Engineering Fundamentals

Work through core equations, units and engineering principles interactively.

Start with Shaft Engineering or Sheet Metal Engineering. The other paths connect to existing tools and reference content.

FROM INPUT TO UNDERSTANDING

How AIEngineeringTool works

Define

Enter the dimensions, loads, operating conditions and material information you actually know.

Calculate

See the equations, units and calculation path instead of receiving a number with no explanation.

Visualize

Use technical drawings and diagrams to understand what the numbers represent physically.

Check

Review assumptions, limits and the engineering checks that still need attention before making a design decision.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

Engineering knowledge
when you need it.

A calculation makes more sense when you understand where it comes from. The Knowledge Base connects formulas, materials, engineering concepts and standards references directly to the workspaces that use them.
