As the need for accurate gear models that integrate into a system-level design process for mechanical transmissions grows, a simulation technology gap for bevel gears becomes clear. Although spur and helical gear simulation methods accurately predict lightweight gears within flexible multibody simulations, numerically predicting bevel gear contact dynamics often faces challenges concerning contact detection and contact force calculation.
Thanks to research and development (R&D) efforts, engineers can accurately analyze bevel
gear design performance concerning gear dynamics and system-level noise, vibration and
harshness (NVH) problems. Read this white paper to learn how Simcenter advances
bevel gear simulation with a new new bevel gear contact formulation.
