Rack Pinion - Transient analysis - Ansys Workbench

[Cristóbal Appelgren]

Hello:

I need help to understand what is wrong in my simulation.
I have used remote displacement. Torque is growing in linear way on 10 time steps wich lasts 0,1 sec each until it reaches maximum torque at 1 sec.

What don't you like about it? Your rack is free to move so the tooth stresses are low. I suggest you do some hand calculations to see what an engineer would expect.
