Advancing bevel gear contact dynamic simulation

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.

Accurately analyze bevel gear design performance

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.
