Programming gears in C++
Programming gears in C++
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm facing a problem with Solidworks. I'm running the 2001 version. I have to make a complete 6 speeds gearbox.
I drew the helical gears but now I'd like to go further and paramater them using some C++ prog.
Since I'm not really used to do that, I'd like to know if some of you can send me some code lines, samples, whatever.
I visited the SolidWorks site and downloaded all I could find.
Thanks for help.
Regards.

RE: Programming gears in C++
I would appreciate any help in actually constructing the gear in solidworks. The involute tooth is not that easy to draw. I know there is software and blocks out there that can generate a gear for me but I want to go through the learning process to ensure I can do it again.
Thanks in advance.

I have also used GearTrax and agree that it is well worth the small investment. It will save you time and a lot of headaches trying to do it on you own.

Will look at this software.
By the way, is there some good soft that may calculate all gears dimensions when you enter basics informations? Or will I have to write (uuuuggg) some C++ whatever program?

I should stop being so much complicated... Let's go for some Excel sheets.

I'm d/l the evaluation pack, 30 days trial full options + library. Works for SW98 to SW2001.
Seems like the whole package (CDRom+licence) will cost €30 only. I gonna have a look at what it offers and will tell you if it's worth.
