Engineering design is an iterative process that requires to be dealt with all feasible design solutions in order to arrive at desired objective. Proper design of gearbox has a significant place in power transmission applications. Traditional methods used in its design do not have ability in automating the process. Thus an attempt to automate preliminary design of gearbox has been accomplished in the paper. Software to automate preliminary design of gearbox with spur helical and bevel gears was developed. In the software KISSsoft we apply the problem with the objective function of minimizing of volume of gear trains. The objective function was constrained by bending strength contact stress face width and number of pinion and gear teeth. The preliminary design parameters module number of teeth and width of teeth for pinion and gear pairs of the stages were optimized and gear ratios were determined in respect to the objective function and design constraints. Design optimization of a two stage gearbox by using KISSsoft was accomplished by readily supplying the design parameters requested.
