Keys & Splines

indicative

Design standard

Calculation standard

Sets screening knobs for Indicative practice — not product type or catalog geometry

Standard SF / load factors for bolts, welds, and pins. Does not select designation or weld type.

Validate — verify what you entered

Auto-design runs a solver-backed sizing search, applies the best candidate, then runs the full validation check.

Keys & splines

Check parallel key or spline torque transfer via shear and bearing stress.

Candidate strategy

Typical Auto-design directions for keys & splines.

Option	Basis	Pass	Tradeoff
Small fastener	Minimum geometry	Check bearing	Compact pattern
Recommended fastener	Balanced utilization	Pass expected	Standard hardware
Heavy fastener	High reserve	High margin	More space/cost
