Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge

Worm Gear Challenge

AIM:

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. You can use a finer mesh while performing the challenge and submit a well formatted report with appropriate images.

PROCESS:

• Download the model & import into Translation structure geometry
• Open the geometry and take a plane
• Know split it

• Update the model & open
• In geometry Rename as required

• In connections make a perfect contact & Target region

• Make a joint as they will rotate
• That is select all the teeth on the Gear

• Perform Meshing

• Follow analysis settings as follows

• Provide the rotation joint for Worm

• Add the required results in solution

SOLUTION:

• Equivalent stress,

• Equivalent elastic strain

• Total deformation
