Week 8 Worm Gear Challenge
AIM: To perform the simulation for worm gear.
PROCEDURE:
- First we will import the geometry in ANSYS workbench with Transiet structiral analysis module. The model is shown below:
- Now after this we will assign the contact to the worm and gear.
- Next is to assign the joints for the worm and gear. So here we will assign the revolute joint to the both component, Make sure they are along Z axis.
- After that we will mesh the component.
- Next we will do the analysis setting. As shown below:
- After that assign the joint load to the worm gear as shown:
- The add the required result to be calulated and solve the problem

Equivalent Strain:
| Sr No. | Total Deformation(mm) | Equivalent Stress (MPa) | Equivalent Strain |
| 1 | 7.28 | 2746.3 | 0.0132 |
RESULT:
- The equilavent stress is calculated. The total equivalent stress is 2746.3 MPa , For Gear it is 2557.3 MPa and for Worm it is 1708 MPa.
