Ciclo VBelt has an innovative feature that allows you perform four simultaneous tasks in real time:
The tool responsible for this functionality is called Dynamic Picker.
Dynamic Picker provides a clear view of how sizing process takes place and how each design can be optimized.
It is a unique and sophisticated tool that contributes significantly to Ciclo VBelt is widely recognized as the best CAE software in its class.
With an intuitive interface, Dynamic Picker has four sliders that gradually adjust the size of each component of belt drive system and one more that adjusts the relative position of the sheaves.
At each change of any slider, the software automatically and instantly remakes the four tasks mentioned above.
Further increasing the performance and functionality of Dynamic Picker, each slider can be individually configured through its own drop-down menu.
Dynamic Picker allows you select V-belts and sheaves from:
Evidently, the Standard Sizes database consists of belts and sheaves whose sizes were fixed by ISO, DIN and RMA.
The Commercial Sizes database was created based on products from leading manufacturers around the world:
This database structure ensures that the V-belt drive designs generated by the software program are compatible with products of Commercial Brands, such as:
Since V-belt drive systems are often used in industrial electric motors, Ciclo VBelt has an extensive database containing data of electric motors from around the world.
The software also has other ancillary databases that complement and increase the level of detail in each design, including a database of standardized machine elements intended to make the connection between shafts and sheaves.

When you start a new project file or open an existing file, the creation and navigation bars become enabled, allowing you to easily manage your V-belt drive designs:
For each V-belt drive design, the software automatically generates a complete set of technical reports and CAD drawings that can be customized by user, including personal or corporate logo.
The display and printing of reports and drawings use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface:
The resolution and the scale of drawings are automatically adjusted according to the paper size selected.
You can choose from a range of standard sizes:
In a highly organized, flexible and friendly environment, Ciclo VBelt is built with a multilingual user interface, an advanced unit converter and a number of other tools that enable it to meet the needs and expectations of the most demanding engineering professionals.
Ciclo is a technology company that develops software for the design of machines. We take pride in providing top-notch solutions that strengthen our clients' businesses.
