Getting started
Explore the demo
The demo lets you work with a real LoudGears result before you sign up or install anything. It creates no project, starts no analysis, and uses no credits.
Open the demo
- On the Web: choose Demo in the top navigation of loudgears.com.
- In ForgeNode: on a workstation that does not have an active license yet, choose Explore Demo on the dashboard. This opens a copy of the demo that is installed with ForgeNode and works offline.
What you are looking at
The demo shows a real run of the downloadable demo wheel on the current 5 mm route: the surface mesh (266,700 nodes), the nodal results, and the wheel's B-Rep geometry from an actual LoudGears solve under a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) fitment load case. The run took 1 min 55 s.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Material | 6061-T6 aluminium |
| Net wheel weight | 8.79 kg |
| Radial load | 6,766.6 N (−Y), from a 690 kg wheel load target |
| Angular torque | 1,400 N·m (+Mz) |
| Peak von Mises stress | 88.714 MPa |
| Minimum safety factor | 3.52 |
The banner REAL ARCHIVED RUN · READ-ONLY DEMO is a reminder that this is not your design or your loads, and not engineering release evidence for any part.
Things to try
- Switch fields. Use the tabs to move between VM Stress, Displacement, and Safety Factor.
- Move the model. Left-drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and middle-drag to pan. Fit view resets the camera; Full screen enlarges the viewer.
- Find the hotspots. On VM Stress, keep Top 5 hotspots on. The right-hand panel shows the peak value and the Fail threshold line.
- Probe a point. Turn on Point probe, then click the wheel to read the stress at that surface node. Clear probes removes them.
- See the deflection. On Displacement, move the Deformation slider from Undeformed to Auto exaggeration or Strong exaggeration.
- Inspect the CAD. Open Geometry Inspection and turn on B-Rep edges to see the original CAD faces and edges, and measure them in mm.
- Read the conclusion. Scroll down to Applied load case and Conclusion.
Report download is not available in the demo.
