For my thesis I need to create 2 spur gears, 1 with 21 teeth and the other with 42, both module 5 and do simulations on them. I tried creating them but it&#8217;s hard for me and some things I simply don&#8217;t get, so I tried finding them online but there are many things I get stuck on there as well. I have found one website (this one: https:\/\/evolventdesign.com\/pages\/spur-gear-generator ) where I can create both on the same file, but I can only download the file as .DXF or .SVG and as far as I know Ansys doesn&#8217;t support that. I have found some way older forums that say you can directly import the .DXF file to spaceclaim and then somehow make it 3d but they don&#8217;t say how. So that&#8217;s my 1st problem can I use that .DXF file and then turn it into a 3d model to use it on mechanical? If not I have found another website (https:\/\/www.stlgears.com\/generators\/3dprint) where I can create the gears separately and download them as .stl file which I can import easily to workbench. The problem now is when I try to create a mesh I have this error and I don&#8217;t know how to solve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/08-08-2023-1691529326-Screenshot 2023-08-09 000419.png\" alt=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"> Lastly, my final problem is how to import both of them into workbench again, line them up so that the small tooth in inside the 2 bigger ones, as to get them ready to apply torque and run the simulations which I know how to do. I think you import both of them like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/08-08-2023-1691529440-Screenshot 2023-08-09 000925.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"256\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j\"> But when I open the model nothing shows up since I believe the mesh hasn&#8217;t been created on the 2 parts. Any help will be greatly appreciated in figuring this out.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-298842","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":["23.33.28.204"],"_bbp_subscription":["286158","170445"],"_btv_view_count":["2093"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["298842"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["170445","286158"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["17"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["311049"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["311049"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-10-11 10:40:02"]},"test":"nmakarogloutuc-gr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/298842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/298842\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
