Worm Gear with Animation (Solid Edge ST9 Tutorial)

This tutorial has been picked up from Solid Edge ST9 Help file. 

This tutorial gives step by step instructions to design and create a model of worm gear. No prior experience of using Solid Edge or Engineering Reference is required for this tutorial. However an engineering knowledge on the design of worm gear will be useful. In this Tutorial you have learned how to use Worm Gear Module to design and create a 3D model of Worm and Worm Gear for the given inputs by using Engineering Reference Application and animate it by ‘Rotational Motor’ command.

It will cover the following topics.

........................................................................................................

• How to mate the worm and worm gear in the assembly.

• How to mate the gears by using ‘Flash Fit’ command in the assembly.

• Use assembly constraints such as Gear mate, Axial Align mate, Tangent mate etc.

Display motion in Worm Gear through Dynamic Simulation

1. Create a ‘New Assembly’ and save it with the name ‘Worm Gear–Dynamic Simulation’.
2. Select Place component from the marking menu and place the Worm in the Assembly.
3. Select the Worm in the Design window, right click and deselect Grounded from the context menu.
4. At present there are six Degrees of Freedom in Worm and it can be moved in any direction in the Assembly.
5. Open the visibility of X Axis of Assembly and X Axis of Worm from the Browser Bar and then apply a Mate Constraint between them.
6. Apply another Mate Constraint between Centre Point of the Assembly and Centre Point of the Worm.
7. Now only one Degree of Freedom is left and Worm can be moved only on its X Axis.
8. Select Place component from the marking menu and place the Worm Gear in the Assembly.
9. Align the Worm Gear in correct position by using Rotate Component Tool.
10. Open the visibility of XZ Plane of Assembly and XY Plane of Worm Gear from the Browser Bar and then apply a Mate Constraint between them.
11. Close the visibility of Work Planes to clear the screen.
12. Set the browser from Assembly View to Modeling View using the toggle at the top of the browser.
13. Open the visibility of Pitch Diameter of Worm Gear and Pitch Diameter of Worm and then apply a Tangent Mate between them.
14. Apply another Mate Constraint between the Z Axis of Worm Gear and YZ Plane of Assembly.
15. Create a Work Axis in the Assembly, coincident with the axis of surface of Pitch Diameter of Worm Gear.
16. Activate the Work Axis command from the Work Features Panel of Assemble Tab, and then select Through Revolved Face or Feature in the Axis drop down menu.
17. Select Pitch Diameter of Worm Gear to create the Work Axis.
18. In the Quick Access toolbar, click the selection tool dropdown list and choose Select Sketch Features.
19. Convert this Work Axis to ‘Grounded’.
20. Activate the Motion Constraint, first select the side face of Worm and then the top face of Worm Gear. In the Ratio input box, enter the value 1/40 and click Ok.
21. Once again, check the Degrees of Freedom of Worm Gear and Worm in the assembly, this time both the gears are rotating on their own Axis.
22. Activate the Dynamic Simulation Tool from the Begin Panel of Environments Tab.
23. Activate Insert Joint from the Marking menu.
24. Select ‘Worm Gear’ from the drop down menu of Insert Joint dialog box.
25. In the Insert Joint dialog box, select Pitch Diameter of Worm in ‘Gear option’ and select Pitch Diameter of Worm Gear in ‘Screw option’. Enter the value (- 1/40 ) in the Pitch input box. Click Ok.
26. Select Revolution:1 joint in the Browser under the Standard Joints folder, right click and select Properties from the context menu.
27. Click dof 1 (R) tab and select Edit imposed motion button and check the Enable imposed motion option.
28. Click the arrow to expand the input choices, and click Constant Value.
29. Enter the value 360*40 deg/s and click Ok.
30. Close the visibility of Pitch diameter of Worm Gear and Worm.
31. In Simulation Player, fill the value 1000 in the Images field area.
32. Clear the screen by activating the Clean Screen command.
33. Click Run in the Simulation Player to display motion in Worm and Worm Gear.

Note: - The worm gear is always driven by the worm.

Display motion in Worm Gear through Drive Constraint.

1. Create a ‘New Assembly’ and save it with the name ‘Worm Gear - Drive Constraint’.
2. Hold the Ctrl key, and click the Worm Gear tool on the Power Transmission panel of the Design Tab.
3. The Worm Gears Component Generator dialog box will open with its default values. Click ok.
4. Click anywhere in the Design Window, to place the Worm and Worm Gear.
5. Align the model in correct position by using View Cube.
6. Make the Worm Gear Assembly flexible from the Browser Bar.
7. Open the Visibility of X Axis of Assembly and X Axis of Worm in the Browser; later apply a Mate Constraint between them.
8. Place a Mate Constraint between Centre Point of Assembly and Centre Point of Worm.
9. Open the visibility of XY Plane of Assembly.
10. Place a Mate Constraint between XY Plane of Assembly and XY Plane of Worm Gear.
11. Place an Angle Constraint between XZ Plane of Worm and XY Plane of Assembly. In the solution field area, select Directed Angle option.
12. Turn off the visibility of Work Plane to make the screen clear.
13. Set the browser from Assembly View to Modeling View using the toggle at the top of the browser.
14. Select the Angle Constraint in the Browser and change its name as ‘Drive’ by clicking twice slowly.
15. Right click the Drive Constraint and select Drive Constraint Tool from the context menu.
16. In the Drive Constraint dialog box, set the End value to 360*10 deg.
17. Expand the dialog box and set the value for Increment 4 deg.
18. Clear the screen by activating the Clean Screen command.
19. Click the Forward Button to display motion in Worm and Worm Gear.
