worms with Catia V5

Published at http://gtrebaol.free.fr/doc/catia/worm.html

The worm is a part of a worm / worm wheel reduction gear

This tutorial shows how to make a basic worm that you can freely re-use in your
assemblies.

 The worm can be coupled with a worm gear or with an helical gear.
 The principle for designing a worm consists in drawing a thread helix that cuts a
cylinder.
 The worm dimension is taken from the part catalog Engrenages H.P.C, June 1999
edition.
 The worm above corresponds to the part ref. W1,5-1 page 358.
