National Machinery’s engineering division Met-MAX Innovations recently released the latest upgrade to their cold forming calculation software Quikcalc. The programhas been renamed QuikcalcePlus to emphasize its new website platform, which can be found at www.quikcalceplus.com. The upgrade moves the calculation program from dated technologies such as disk installations, USB downloads, and serial port keys to hosting the entire program online at quikcalceplus.com. 

Traditionally Quikcalc has been and still is calculation software that simplifies cold forming calculations by saving time and reducing guesswork for difficult design analysis.The newQuikcalcePlus does not require downloading or software, only an internet connection for accessing the website. It was designed to run on major web browsers fromdevices with larger screens. Registered users can now log into the program from variousmachines to access their personal account, but can only be logged into the program from one device at a time.

The new platform allows for multiple languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese), seamless upgrades, unit preferences, email job functions, online host saving, and a modern easy-to-use design. Seamless upgrades will take place throughout the year as a way to constantly improve and add to the program. The initial upgrade comes with a new Load & Energy calculation (Combined Forward & Backward Extrusions on the same end of the Blank), and Round, Hex, & Square shape options have been added to several of the load & energy calculators. Email job functions enable the user a one-click method for emailing calculation results instantly to their registered email addresses. Online saving allows the user to save all jobs online directly to their account so that they can access them again from any machine they use to log in.  

Quikcalceplus.com will now be offered in year-long subscriptions and can be registered and paid for entirely online from the website.
