Week 2 Bevel Gear Challenge

Grid dependency test- it is to investigate how the solution depends on the grid size by running the simulation with diffrent mesh that is finer, higher is the accuracy of the result but with additional cost on computation time and computational power. Since, solutions are interpolated at the nodes to get an approximate result, higher the number of nodes and elements higher is the computational time and power required to complete the simulation, So, the grid dependency test helps in determining optimal mesh size where the accurate result could be obtained keeping in the mind the cost of time and power.

Grid dependency test For Beval Gear

Conclusion-

Total Deformation- in each case total deformation reamainded the same

Equivalent Stress and Strain - as the mesh size decrease the stress also dreases due to increased accuracy, so the stresses obatained at 4mm size are more reliable
