WHY

Does this happen with every calculation?

  • Looking for formulas and tables

    Each calculation means looking up formulas, factors and tables in books and catalogues.

  • Mixed-up units

    kgf and N, mm and m: converting units is where mistakes creep in.

  • No record of the basis

    A value worked out on a calculator or spreadsheet loses its formula and assumptions later.

  • Where the values go

    You would rather not send design values to an outside service.

FEATURES

What it does

  • Formulas and working

    Each result comes with its formula, working, assumptions, units and sources.

  • Nothing outside the range

    Inputs outside the assumptions are not calculated, and the reason is shown.

  • A verdict

    Shows whether the conditions are met, within the conditions you entered.

  • Study sheets

    Chain calculations and compare the current design with options A and B.

  • Design calculation sheet

    Put the results into a design calculation sheet.

  • Nothing sent

    Calculations run only in your browser.

RESULTS

What comes with each result

  • Sources

    Standard and material values are those of the sources shown. Check the values of the parts and materials you use in the makers' documents.

  • Cross-checks

    Shows MechOwl's own cross-checks against public documents and calculation tools. They are not an endorsement or guarantee by those sources.
