DESIGNING GEAR IN CATIA V5R14 HOWTO (HOW-TO)
This is step by step guide how to create gear using CATIA.
I'm not CATIA expert. Someone might find that CATIA doesn't
have much with TCP/IP and FreeBSD. However I'm B.Sc.M.E. and I
find playing with CATIA very interesting. I coulnd't findmuch about gear design using GOOGLE or YAHOO. Since I enjoy
learing and practicing what I learn, I also enjoy sharing that
with others (often seen on overnet/edonkey: please share :)
don't be selfish. Here is step by step guide how to make spur gear
using CATIA. Note that this was inspired by document I have
found at website www.piovision.com (credits go to the unknown
designer).Also note that spur gear design we use today was first
sugested by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (15.4.1707-18.9.1783)
(Euler was also credited for this on old 10 Franc Swiss banknote,
checkout Euler on wikipedia).
Robert Willis of Cambridge Universty was the first who demonstratedadvantage of involute shaped teeth over popular epicycliod shaped
teeth. Epicycloidal shaped teeth design belongs to Danish scientis
Ole Romar, but it is also worth noticing that Nicholas of Cusa

(1401-1464) and Albreth Durer (1471-1525) studied epicycloid, so it
is not clear who was the first who invented gear.
But let's start. This document assumes that you have basic
CATIA experience and that you are not a complite moron.
Also, this document assumes that you know basic spur gear
geometry. Here is excellent document from www.bostongear.com
in case you are not familiar. Some basic notations:rb - base cylinder radius
r - pitch circle radius
rk - outside circle radius
rf - root radius
a - presure angle (20deg)
m - moduo (in our example 20) m=p/3.14159 where p is circular pitch 2r=m*z
z - number of teeth (in our example 20)
When you start CATIA, go to TOOLS->OPTIONS->infrastructure->
part infrastructure and in Display select Paramteres and Relations.
Then in Options->General in Parameters and Measures select with value
and With formula in Parameters Tree View.

Fog and f(x) are two most important things you will use for gear design:

Now it is time to enter some basic parameters that define gear
This is done by clicking at f(x) icon:

And then when you see dialog box: Formulas: Part1
fist select Parameter type (real, lenght or angle) click new
parameter of type and then edit value. You can do this untilall parameters are enered.

When you enter parameters it is time to enter some formulas.
For, r, rb, rk and rf we enter formulas by naming them and by
clicking Add Formula. Formula editor will appear:
After typing all formulas and expanding specification tree you
will see something like this:

It is time to add laws that will define our involute. Click
on fog icon, name law x add parameters, t and x select their
types and add law:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/gear-design-catia 13/33
Same should be done for y. This law will help us to create
points that define spline for our involute. Involute is line
that is trajectory of point belonging to line that is alwaystangent to base gear cylinder. It is used for tooth profile.
If gears had profiles formed by straight lines they wouldn't
work.

Now it is time to start creating our points for involute spline.
Click on point icon, select xy plane for support and when asked
to enter H and V cordinates right button click should bring menuwhere you should chose edit formula:

You should do same for V except you should use Relations\y .Evaluate(0).
You will get starting point for involute:

From this point everything is more or less simple.
Create base cirle by clicking on cirle icon.
Right click on radius and chose rb from formula editor:

Now it is time to extrapolate our involute. For lenght
also right click and chose formula (rb-rf)*1.5

You can use View-> zoom and pan to see what actually you are
doing. Create plane. Use formula: inv(360/z)/4. You will get
-4.5deg angle offset from ZY plane.
