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.
