WORM GEAR ANALYSIS

TITLE: WORM GEAR ANALYSIS

OBJECTIVE: To perform a transient structural analysis on worm gear assembly.

• Materials used in the simulation is structural steel.
• First I look for the geometry in space claim and cut the gear into two parts using extrude option.

• Then I define contacts and joints.

• Then I look for the mesh.

• Then I define boundary conditions and put rotaion to the worm.

• Then I request for the results.

RESULTS:

• TOTAL DEFORMATION =14.819 mm
• EQUIVALENT STRESS = 147.6 MPa
• EQUIVALENT ELASTIC STRAIN = 0.0068481 mm/mm

CONCLUSION: Results are obtained and no abnormalities can be seen.
