Gear simulation engineering software

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the search for gear simulation engineering software suitable for designing gear systems. A user mentioned trying the Gears Simulator version 3.0 but found it lacking the functionality to increase gear length. Participants noted that designing gearing systems, including planetary gears, is straightforward unless specific tooth profiles are required. The conversation emphasizes the need for software that balances simplicity with comprehensive functionality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gear system design principles
  • Familiarity with gear simulation software
  • Basic knowledge of tooth profile design
  • Experience with engineering software usability
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced features in gear simulation software like Autodesk Inventor
  • Explore the capabilities of SolidWorks for gear design
  • Learn about gear profile design techniques
  • Investigate user reviews of Gears Simulator alternatives
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, design students, and anyone involved in gear system design and simulation will benefit from this discussion.

hi all. i have an assignment to design a gear system. so, anyone can suggest me a software that i can make a simulation about a gear? prefer simple software that got a lot of function. thank~~

Edit: i tried this software http://gears-simulator.software.informer.com/3.0/
but i need a function to increase the length of gear where it didn't have in this software (or maybe i didn't found it)
btw, sorry for my bad english.

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
What kind of gearing system? IMO, unless you're designing tooth profiles, there's not really much to designing gearing systems (even planetary gears aren't that hard to look at on paper).
