Testimonial
"Thanks for Design Flex software. It has saved me hundreds of hours of hand calculations. Also, knowing that the software comes from Gates assures me that I am getting good and dependable results from the calculations. I can try several "what ifs" in just a few minutes. The software is also extremely easy to use. Now, 3D drawings --- WOW!!!! Thanks very, very much."
