Gears

[ronaldvandenbroek]

Hello...

Does anybody know if it's possible to design gears in NX3? Outside of grip/ugopen/NF..

Thanx...

I model gears all the time In I-Deas that have true involute curve teeth. I use function splines in I-Deas. I think they have what they call law curves in NX that would do the same thing. I do not know for sure about this.

Thanx for the reaction SDETERS69..

Of course I can model gears with sketch within NX (already made a sketch for it where I only need to give the number of teeth, modulus and pressure angle...).
But I was wondering if there was a module available within NX to do this for me..

Thanx....

nx gear module

i very much doubt that you'll find a module in nx to model gear teeth. it's just too specialized a component
