    Simulating the Dynamics of High Fidelity Gears


    SOLUTION BRIEF

    Field of Application What is Advanced 3D Contact?


    High performance gear systems are commonly required for modern In previous releases, Adams Machinery Gears have been modeled as
    vehicles and other machinery. For these systems market pressures rigid parts with a separately defined compliance between gear pairs. In

    tool provides additional capabilities suitable for these demands,

    uses the modal superposition method, which assumes that the part’s
    deformation can be captured by superimposing normal mode shapes.
    But in the case of gears, most of the deformation takes places in the
    teeth themselves, which is difficult to capture in the mode shapes.
    Capabilities Why Use Advanced 3D Contact?
    FE-mesh Advanced 3D Contact improves upon the preexisting Adams Machinery Gear methods in several
    ways ultimately allowing for the accurate calculation of dynamic gear meshing forces including
