Transient structural analysis of worm-gear assembly

Transient structural analysis of worm-gear assembly

Objective

perform a transient structural analysis on a worm gear assembly to get results for Equivalent stress, Equivalent elastic strain and the total deformation in the model.

Geometry given

Geometry modified

As the simulation going on the academic version which has limitation to work on that geometry modified as below.

Material used

Structural steel

Material properties

Meshing

default meshing used.

Contacts

Type of contact:- friction-less

Joints

TYpe of joints:- Revolute

Constraints

Weak springs:- program controlled

Large deflection:- ON

Auto time stepping:- ON

No of steps:- 18

Initial time step:- 0.2s

Maximum time step:- 0.2s

After applying all the constraints run the simulation to get the results.

Results
