Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge

OBJECTIVE :-

To obtain the Equivalent stress,Equivalent elastic strain and total deformation by perform a transient structural analysis on a worm gear assembly

PROCEDRE:-

Open ansys workbench R2
select transient structural analysis
rename the work
open engineering data section ,add required materials like structural steel
import the geometry
open ansys mechanical
rename geometry parts as suitable
select structural steel for all parts
rename default contacts in connection section based on defenition and flip its contact and target
insert body to ground revelute joint , select its scope by selecting inside surface of the gear
insert body to ground revelute joint , select inside surface of the worm
in mesh section turn on adaptive sizing and input element size as 5 mm
in analysis section input number of step as 15
change weak spring to program controlled
keep large deflection on and turn on auto time step
for 2 to 15 step turn on carry over time
insert joint load in transient section ,select joint as revelute -Ground to worm
select type as revelution .input data through tabular data
run solve
