Worm Gear Challenge

Objective- For this challenge, you will have to perform a transient structural analysis on a worm gear assembly. For the academic version, you need to cut the gear by half so as to bring the model within limits. For the challenge, you have to rotate the worm so as to get to almost end of the half cut and get results for Equivalent stress, Equivalent elastic strain and the total deformation in the model.

Worm wheel- we can cut assembly into two halves and apply symmetry

Material used- Structural steel:

Stress- 2069.6 MPa

Strain- 0.0089

Total deformation- 4.5455

Conclusion- we can use a better material since the stress developed is very high and we can have an idea at what points the maximum stress is developed.
