Shaft alignment is a technical skill that is not common in the construction and maintenance professions, but categorized more like a specialty. It requires unique and expensive measurement instruments, some calculation capability, and relies heavily on experience for successful results on heavy, high-speed, or high-temperature machines.

Generally the mechanical engineer who is well informed of shaft alignment calculation problem can use the software without training. Shaft elements, bearings, flanges, propeller loads, concentrated loads, jacks, temporary supports are placed on the correct location in the model using intuitive graphic interface. The User's manual and online help contains all the information need to create shaft models and perform calculations.
