CAD Plugin for STEP/IGES
Features
- Generation of geometry of different geat types as 3D CAD models in STEP/IGES format
- Single cylindrical gears (external/internal), cylindrical gear pairs, planetary gear trains, three- and four-gear train systems, gear racks, involute splines, straight, helical and spiral bevel gears
- Settings menu for STEP/IGES output to adjust the export options as needed
- Geometry as solid model with one or all teeth or as surface model of the tooth space geometry
- Setting the level of accuracy
Description
The 3D CAD plugin allows to create the geometry of different gear types as 3D CAD models in STEP/IGES format.
STEP as well as IGES are two standardised neutral file formats for CAD models. Almost every 3D CAD system can import STEP files.
The settings menu for the STEP and IGES output has a few different functions and allows the user to adjust the export options as needed.
The geometry can be generated as a solid model with one or all teeth or as a surface model of the tooth space geometry. When exporting to a CAD system, the user can also set the level of accuracy to a desired value.
Currently the following calculation modules include the new STEP/IGES export feature: single cylindrical gears (external/internal), cylindrical gear pairs, planetary gear trains, three- and four-gear train systems, gear racks, straight, helical and spiral bevel gears as well as involute splines (DIN 5480 etc.).
