Validate — verify what you entered

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

Bevel gear screening

Size pinion geometry and screen bending and contact stress for indicative strength.

Recommended for beam: ASTM A992 (W-shapes) — Highest strength/weight ratio among common W-shape grades

Typical Auto-design directions for bevel gear screening.

Option	Basis	Pass	Tradeoff
Minimum size	Static strength	Screen fatigue	Compact but sensitive
Recommended size	Strength + stiffness	Pass expected	Balanced
Robust size	High reserve	Pass with margin	Larger and heavier
