Press and Shrink Fits
The application provides a separate calculation thread for the dimensioning and the verification calculation.
The materials for the shaft and the hub are to select as an item in a list control in a dialog box.
With this dialog box the user can manage the materials list: update records, create new records or create a new list
to his preference.
