SolidWorks Tutorial, Flex Twisting to Draw Helical Gear

[kshiju]

Which School did you learn making gear like this?

[akulax2]

I am complete noob at solid works. I mean complete complete! I even have hard time following tutorial on solid works help file. Some of the stuff I get right but some I screw up. I have no idea when I follow directions to why this is done the certain way. I really need to learn solid works. Can someone recommend to me the best way to learn it properly? So I could design my own machinery or my own inventions. Maybe someone could suggest a good book? Or maybe I should just do trial and error?

[OfficialLukePN]

This is Not Correct You need to do Evalutae of TOOTH and a lot of more things this is not right method im learing it for my project of GEARS

[curbdancer2002]

is there a way you can fix one plane so just one plane twists? I'm currently designing a wind turbine & need a 30 degree twist on the rotor blades

[Meschmidt5]

When making the actual shape of the gear tooth, how did you know that radius was 6, the horizontal distance was 7.05 and the vertical distance was 12.8?

[hientv1]

wonderful!

[Fachrudinfikri]

terus semangat buat yang lebuih bagus lagi, try to make the new n better one, hope's it's will be inspiration for others, good luck

[elkhrz]

super, que buena onda, Buena música-Buen tutorial!!!

[ralfytm]

That was realy good, thanks for showing us, i am now learning solidowrks, but it's 2010 :)

[Userdaniel]

Thank you, great tutorial!

I do not think this is a good method to make a helical gear. Do you understand what FLEX was intended for? Do understand how it calculates the new geometry?

FLEX is intended to show parts in there deformed state approximately. Therefore FLEX does not try to maintain the integrity of the underlying geometry for production. FLEX was not intended to be used to create geometry that will be built in the machine shop. Its only for show and tell.

A sweep is a much better way.

[BlakeMason2]

It is so funny to see SW2007 and think of it as "antique." Cool demo though. I don't remember seeing flex in SW2011 now I gotta go find it.

[RJE06]

wow ! that was perfect

[SPRJRiv]

Dude no offense but you know Solidworks can generate Helical gears from the Toolbox right?

[kalubla007]

hi man, excuseme i don´t speak english but i will try.

how do you calculate the distance and the diameter of the circles for buid the gear??

i don´t know

and i was searching and i didn´t find anything.

thanks for the video and thanks for read this comment.

i hope your can giveme one answer or givme one link about this question.

excuseme but i don´t speak english very well

[DJChronikX]

I've done exactly as shown and it does work... but i can't make a gear constraint out of two of those...! How should i do it?

[0328322]

how do you make the last part where you twist the gear at an angle. What options should i use?

at 2.17min.

[Langgengjaya]

Insert > Features > Flex

Under Flex Input, select Bodies for Flex and choose Twisting, then set Angle to 15deg. Set Plane 1 trimming distance at 10mm under Trim Plane 1 dialog box. Click OK

[PatrickMercader]

@Langgengjaya Can you choose which plane to make the twist? How?

[Bettolinofilms]

thank you,,,finally something helpfull!!,,.......thanx!!!!

[nkrasn11]

Can someone help me? I have a curved surface but I need to make it flat. What should I do?

[GnomieGnomie]

extruded cut it with a flat surface sketch

[AlexLPD]

hi, nice tip there, i have seen that feature some time ago, but never really pay much attention to it.

And is amazign stuff.... so, thanks for the tip

[vulyone]

What feature did you use to make the teeth flex?

[purplewtruck]

it's called "flex", and it's found in insert>features>flex. click on the body you'd like to flex, and change the angle. just that easy.

[Sunclief]

Do you think it would be possible to show us how you would draw a bolt, coil spring and some more gears?

[Sunclief]

How long have you been using Solidworks for?

What version are you using here?

[Langgengjaya]

Since August 2007 (20 months). I use Solidworks 2007

[gacktz1207]

can it be done by using autocad?

[toy3334]

mega geil !!!!!

[firataydineyup]

how you define pressure angle, module etc? it looks like that this arbitrary groove pls reply?

[witchdoctor88]

Officer, isn't the speed limit 65?

[sourkraut100]

I am afraid that there is really no audio.

But that is really nice how you twisted the planes to get it that way. I would have done a sweep, but I am a Pro E guy, but SW 2009 looks like some hot stuff, will have to play around with it

[Langgengjaya]

Yes, it is.

[z3158755]

no voice?

[Langgengjaya]

Yes, it is.
