Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge

Objective: 

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

Tool/Software: Ansys Workbench 2022R

Modal: parts

1. Worm

2. Gear

Connections: 

Contact Bodies : Worm
Target Bodies : Gear

Mesh:

Element Size = 5.0 mm

Nodes = 11679
Elements = 5398

Results: 

1) Total Deformation

Total Deformation Maximum 7.260692965 mm (Occurs at gear)

 

2) Equivalent Elastic Strain:

Equivalent Elastic Strain Maximum = 0.005271527 (Occurs at gear)

3) Equivalent Stress Maximum = 949.5763818 MPa

Conclusion: 

the maximum affected part is Gear
