Using the help

Ways in

• F1 opens the page about the module shown; the ? in a module's header does the same.
• Help in the account menu (top right) opens these contents.
• The command palette (Ctrl K) lists every page as Help: …, and Search help… searches them.
• On the web, the help is also at its own address, readable without signing in.

Field tips

The (i) beside a field's name says what the field means, its unit, its default and the standard it comes from. The text comes from the calculation model itself, so it always matches what the engine does. For example, the bearings module's radial clearance or a shaft's outer diameter.

The tour

Take the tour on the start screen, or in these contents, walks through five steps:

1. open an example,
2. change the shaft,
3. add a bearing,
4. read the results and checks,
5. make a report.

Start with the shaft module, or open the single-stage gearbox example.
