Finite Element Analysis and Optimization of Helical Gear-pairs with Web based on SolidWorks
Abstract
In this paper, Finite element analysis is implemented for helical gear-pairs by SolidWorks simulation. Firstly, GearTrax that is seamlessly integrated with SolidWorks is used to input the relevant parameters of helical gears. Then the gear entity is established in SolidWorks. Finally 3D models of gear-pairs are built up. Through the creation of auxiliary lines and auxiliary surfaces, the correct assembly of gear-pairs is completed, which guarantees the accuracy of subsequent finite element analysis. According to the results of finite element analysis, both the web thickness and the web hole diameter of the large gear are optimized to meet the maximum requirements. This work is able to provide reference for parameter design of helical gear-pairs with web.
