Let me give you an example of what I intend to do. In the end I can get the result I want. But you have to apply a number of scale factors that don't make any sense to me.
I have traced the flank of the tooth using Grant's method. As the gear has more than 34 teeth, it can be made with a single...
I try to calculate the dimensions of a gear to intertrace the teeth by 2 methods:
-Grant's Method
- Approximate layout of the involute profile
The table I currently have is this. But there are obviously many more calculations to be done.
Dp*cos(A) = 160 x cos (20) = 160 x 0,939 = 150,35 // non 150
Another added problem is that when defining parameters as number, they cannot be used in the sketch dimensions to be parameterized
I get it to work. But it doesn't seem logical to me. I have to divide Dp1 and Dp2 by 200...? absurd
In other equation editors I've worked with, this isn't necessary. AutoCAD, BricsCAD, SolidWorks, Catia...
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've only been using Alibre for a short time, although I have a lot of experience with other CAD programs.
Can the equation editor use trigonometric functions?
Apparently, yes. But it does something weird. If you multiply Dp*cos(A)=160x cos(20) you should give 150.35...
