Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge

Objective: To perform a transient structural analysis on a worm gear assembly and Equivalent stress, Equivalent elastic strain and the total deformation in the model are calculated.

1. Geometry:

Geometry is edited in spacec alim and cut into half for academic version.

2. Material:

3. Case set up and settings:

a. connections:

i. Contacts:

ii. Joints:

b. Mesh:

Element size of 2 mm is used.

c. Analysis settings:

d. Joint Load:

e. Solutions:

i. Total Deformation

ii. Equivalent stress

iii. Equivalent elastic strain

4. Result:

(Max values are considered)	Total Deformation	Equivalent stress	Equivalent elastic strain
Worm Gear	7.2754	0.0079138	1557.2

The simulation of worm Gear is realized.
