Challenge

Worm Gear Analysis

AIM:

To perform transient structural analysis of Worm Gear and evaluate the stress and deformation results.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:

PROCEDURE:

Case 1 – Structural steel
OPEN WORKBENCH21 > NEW PROJECT > TRANSIENT STRUCTURAL.
This will start a new transient structural project.
Rename the project as Worm wheel.
Go to ENGINEERING DATA > STRUCTURAL STEEL.
Then double click on Geometry. This will open the Spaceclaim.
In Space claim check the model for any dents or irregularities.
The geometry looks good, exit the Spaceclaim.
Then double click on Model. This will open Mechanical module.
Now, rename the geometry as Worm and Wheel.
Then assign Structural steel to all the parts.
Then go to CONTACTS > CONTACT > RENAME BASED ON DEFINITION.
INSERT > CONTACT > CONTACT BODIES > TARGET BODIES > TYPE = FRICTIONLESS.
CONNECTIONS > INSERT > JOINT > TYPE = BODY-GROUND > TYPE = REVOLUTE > SCOPE = WORM INNER SURFACE.
CONNECTIONS > INSERT > JOINT > TYPE = BODY-GROUND > TYPE = REVOLUTE > SCOPE = WHEEL INNER FACE.
This will define the Revolute Joint.
Now, go to MESH > DEFAULT > GENERATE MESH.
The mesh will be generated on the model.
Then go to STATIC STRUCTURAL > ANALYIS SETTINGS > NO OF STEPS = 15 > AUTO TIME STEPPING = ON > CARRY OVER TIME STEP = ON > MINIMUM TIME STEP = 0.2 > MAXIMUM TIME STEP = 0.5 > LARGE DEFLECTION = ON > WEAK SPRINGS = PROGRAM CONTROLLED > OUTPUT CONTROLS = YES.
Go to STATIC STRUCTURAL > INSERT > JOINT LOAD = REVOLUTE – GROUND TO WORM > TYPE = ROTATION > MAGNITUDE = TABULAR DATA.
Then, go to SOLUTION > INSERT > STRESS > STRAIN > DEFORMATION.
This will set the output results.
Then SOLUTION > SOLVE.

RESULTS:

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

CONCLUSION:

By performing this project we conclude that the Transient analysis of Worm Wheel is performed and the stress, strain and deformation results are obtained.
