    This document provides a tutorial on how to analyze compression springs using KISSsoft software according to DIN EN 13906-1. It describes how to input operating data such as forces and temperatures, select a spring geometry from the database or input custom parameters, choose materials, perform calculations to obtain results like spring rate and shear stress, and view output in the form of force-travel diagrams and reports. It also discusses how to size springs by inputting the spring rate and selecting the wire diameter and coils.

    The document outlines the process of analyzing a compression spring according to DIN EN 13906-1 using KISSsoft software. It describes starting the software, selecting the spring calculation module, inputting geometry, material and operating data, running the calculation, and viewing the results.

    The document describes selecting the spring calculation module in KISSsoft, inputting the geometry such as wire diameter and coil diameter, selecting the material, and inputting operating data such as forces and temperatures. It then shows running the calculation to obtain results.

    The document shows that operating data such as forces, travels, and support conditions can be directly input in the input window in KISSsoft. It provides a help graphic to select the support type. The forces or travels can be input to define the operating conditions.

    1 Starting KISSsoft
    1.1 Starting the software
    You can call KISSsoft as soon as the software has been installed and activated. Usually you start the program by clicking "StartProgram FilesKISSsoft 03-2012KISSsoft". This opens the following KISSsoft user interface:

    Figure 1.

    Starting KISSsoft, initial window

    1.2 Selecting a calculation


    In the Modules tree window, select the "Modules" tab to call the calculation for compression springs:

    2 Analyzing Compression Springs


    2.1 Task
    To analyze a cold formed compression spring 4 x 40 x 235 made of spring steel. Search for this data:

    Spring rate R Shear stress k2 at F 2 =300N Spring travel difference sh

    This tutorial then describes how you input the following data: Wire diameter d Coil diameter D Effective coils n Spring length L0 Material Ends of spring Tolerances

    2.2 Inputting operating data


    As shown below, you can input operating data directly in the input window. Here you can input either the forces or the travels.

    Figure 5.

    Input window, "Operating data" group

    The types of support are displayed in a help graphic that you open by clicking next to the Support field. The support coefficient v is used for calculating the buckling spring travel sk. If the buckling safety factor is not reached then the spring must be guided, otherwise it will buckle. If the spring must be guided, the KISSsoft system issues a warning message when you perform the calculation to inform you of this fact.

    2.3 Inputting the geometry and selecting materials


    The KISSsoft database includes a wide range of different compression springs, all of which comply with the specifications in DIN 2098, Supplementary Sheet 1. This example uses a spring selected from this list. However, if the spring you require is not present, simply select "Own input" and input your own parameters for a spring. You will find more detailed information about this below. To find a suitable spring, first click "Update". The system now calculates and displays values that match your input, such as spring travel, spring forces. This helps you make the best possible choice. Click the right-hand mouse button in the spring selection list to determine which values are to be displayed.

    You can then either select or input the shape of the spring ends, the manufacturing method, and the tolerances, in the area below the table.

    Figure 9.

    Clicking the right-hand mouse button to select the values to be displayed

    You can select the material either from a drop-down list or input your own values. If you set the flag in the "shot peened" checkbox, the calculation will take into account the fact that the spring has been shot peened.

    Calculating a compression spring

    The results show, among other things, the relevant spring rate. These values are displayed in the lower right-hand part of the graphic. The system provides a graphic for the force travel diagram and, for dynamic loads, displays the Goodman diagram (if a suitable diagram is not present, one will be approximated). To increase the scale of the graphic, click the zoom button (outlined in orange on right).
