Advanced Spring Design (ASD) software is a jointly developed product by Universal Technical Systems and the Spring Manufacturers Institute (SMI) that combines engineering expertise with customized calculations to help you design quality springs.

Fast and Easy
ASD has been built in a completely graphical environment with convenient and automatic unit conversion as well as easy access to dynamic plots and reports. It also includes a materials database that can be added to by users, a profile system for saving and incorporating frequently used input data sets, and exportable DXF drawings. Everything you need to make the most productive use of your design time!

Versatile and User-friendly
ASD6 covers a total of 27 spring types or loading options and includes compression springs, extension springs, spiral forms, torsion springs, washers, beams, and torsion bars. There are three different input methods—Quick Start, Power User, Custom Power User—and default values that make ASD useful for occasional as well as expert users. There are a number of pre-formatted plots and standard reports available. You also have the flexibility to create custom reports.

Reliable Solutions to Complex Equations
Advanced Spring Design leverages the TK Solver collaborative math engine that has the unique ability to solve for a variety of combinations of input and output variables — known as backsolving. This makes it easy to test goal-seeking scenarios based on industry-specific parameters, to optimize your designs without hours of tedious calculations or programming. Just point, click, and solve! You’ll get reliable results and quality designs faster than ever before.
