Development of a Preliminary Approach for Automatic Generation of the CAD Model of the Spur Gear

Abstract

AbstractThe spur gear is an extensively used machine part where transmission of power is required between the shafts. The need for better spur gear is always there for the present market. Hence, there is a constant strive among the researchers to improve the design and productivity of the spur gear. In this regard, companies are looking forward to develop an advanced system for the design and development of the spur gear. A knowledge-based system can facilitate automating the design process with much more effectiveness. Hence, a knowledge-based system is required to address design and CAD modeling issues automatically. This paper presents an attempt to develop a preliminary approach for generating the spur gear automatically by CAD software based on the minimum design requirements inputs. Advanced modeling techniques like the parametric modeling technique is used to reach the target. Further, the proposed approach has proven itself as the better than the traditional approach where human is involved in CAD model generation.KeywordsKBEKBSGearSolidWorksParametric modelingMacro
