Analysis routines are included to assist design in selected areas:

•Power Wizard: estimate power requirement over range of temperatures and drag sensitivity factors.

•Power Summary: plots the maximum power requirement for each operating case.

•Belt Speed Calculator: estimate belt speed based on motor, gearbox and pulley data.

•Takeup Travel Summary plots the expected takeup travel for each operating case.

•Transfer Chutes: introduction to discrete element method (DEM) to evaluate transfer chute design.

•Load On/Off: recalculate estimated power requirements, belt tensions and takeup requirement as a full load of material is first loaded onto the conveyor and then unloaded.

•Trajectory: estimate material discharge trajectory based on running conditions.

•Belt Capacity: estimates capacity of belt based on percent loaded, material edge distance, belt width, and idler specification.

•Belt Flap: evaluates the potential for dynamic vibration in a belt that generally appears as the belt bouncing vertically between idlers.
