Description

The aim of the course is to show the user how to create, assemble, simulate, and efficiently analyze gear transmissions. In particular, the course focuses on using the following toolkits: RD/DriveTrain Package KS and RD/DriveTrain Package RD. These toolkits are specifically designed to automate and accelerate the entire simulation process of all the components (gears, shafts, and bearings) of a gear transmission (gears with straight or helical teeth). The RD/DriveTrain Package KS includes KISSsoft software components which calculate the interactions between the teeth in an extremely transparent, precise and reliable way.
Multibody models of gear transmissions allow transmission error to be derived under both steady-state and transient conditions.

Target Audience

Engineers, RecurDyn users who need to simulate the dynamics of geartrains in transient conditions.

Pre-requisites

Knowledge of applied mechanics.
Rigid multi-body simulation using RecurDyn Professional.
Flexible multi-body simulation using RecurDyn.
