Whitepaper - Webinar Recording and Whitepaper

Gear Digital Twin - Understanding Multi-Tooth Gear Contact Model

In the webinar and whitepaper, a 3DCS variation analysis software model will be used to validate the design and tolerancing of an individual gear. Standard tests and gear specification measurements are calculated using Monte Carlo simulation and predicted results are displayed including predicted deviation from nominal values and predicted range of values.

The results are calculated from the measurement of the range of the distance between gear centers. In addition to this measurement, the angular deviation between teeth is also taken into account. These tests, leveraging the Digital Twin, provide savings by avoiding tooling changes and by optimizing the gear parameters, such as crowning.
