Are you familiar with FEA methods?
- YES
What hand calculation did you do?
- Just easy one, checking the bending stress and tooth contact stress.
Which Simulation package do you have?
- At first I want to use SolidWorks simulation, but also have Ansys Worksbench 12.
Are the gear teeth...
I'm trying to calculate stress in a bevel gear set and want to do an analysis in SolidWorks Simulation to confirm my hand calculations. But I dont get any results, it just give me the error code "simulation failed". I suspect that this is due to lack of contact between two teeth of the gear...
