In Adams 2017, the MSC Adams team has introduced gear tooth flexibility for 3D gear contact methods. This feature allows users to define the gear part geometry and material properties, from which a finite element model (FEM) is created and solved in the background to define tooth compliance.
With the FE Part module, MSC has updated support, node location, model importing and part creation.
"The Advanced 3D Gear analysis capability is a great tool for the design of our drive train products. As a manufacturer of drive axles for the heavy-duty truck industry, we are always looking to improve the performance and durability of our drive train components. The latest development in gear analysis in MSC's Adams software is what we're looking for!" said Ragnar Ledesma, PE, principal engineer, Analytical Mechanics Department at Mentor.
