Worm Gear Transient Structural Analysis (ANSYS WORKBENCH)

Aim :

To perform a Transient Structural analysis on a worm gear assembly and find the Equivalent stress, Equivalent Strain and Total deformation of the model.

FILE : WORM_GEAR

Procedure :

1. The model of Worm gear is imported into Transient Stuctural analysis settings and the parts are re-named accordingly
   
   
2. Frictionless joint is given between the contact area of the Worm gear by manually selecting the Contact area and Target area. Since the gear rotates about an axis, Revolute joint is given for both the Worm and Gear by selecting the inner surface.
   
   
   
   
3. For meshing : To make the simulation more refined we use a mesh of 1.5 mm which is within the Academic Version No. of nodes and elements.
   
   
   

Result :

Equivalent Stress
Equivalent Strain
Total Deformation

Conclusion :

Hence the worm and gear simulation is performed by refining the mesh to extract the Equivalent Stress, Equivalent Strain and Total Deformation.
