SIMULATION OF LOAD STRESS DISTRIBUTION IN WORM-FACE GEAR DRIVE WITH LOCALIZED CONTACT USING CATIA-GPS APPLICATION
Using a finite element method module, available within CATIA CAD application, the paper presents a practical procedure of stress load distribution evaluation and visualization, among the simultaneous contact teeth of a wormface gear drive with localized contact. The procedure is intended to be use for a preliminary and fast evaluation of the load stress prediction, based on magnitude and position of contact forces on teeth instantaneous contact flanks and, is illustrated here through a practical example.
