Meshing Gears Together

[cmosen]

Hi would someone be able to give me a good tutorial on how to get gears to mesh together in an assembly on Wildfire 4.0?

By this I mean so that when one gear turns, the next gear will also turn with the teeth of the gears behaving as they would in reality

I'm quite new to Pro/Engineer by the way, just received a copy of the software from my university earlier this week to start one of my assignments so step by step instructions would be appreciated

Thanks!

This is best done (and very easy) using Mechanism Design Extension (MDX). Do you have access to this?

Yeah a mechanical engineer at university showed me how to do it, far easier than I thought it would be!

I'm struggling with working out how big the teeth of the gears should be and how big the spaces between should be to get the gears to mesh correctly though, any help?
