How to model generic gear in Pro-E?
(OP)
I know this thread was posted several times, but the links to tutorials, etc, are dead by now :( I would like to model a generic gear in Pro-E that can be changed into any size realistic. I have the formulas but I'm struggling transfering my relations, paramters. etc into Pro-E. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Unfortunately, I have been undable to specify the pressure angle, and the model I have created work only for certain Pitch diameters, but if I designate a very small (e.g. 2 in) or a very large (20 in) my relations are not working correctly.
So my question is this: Is it actually possible to design a gear based on the parameters outlined above, or do gears change inhernently to the extent that the formulas used to create the curves etc change? Any help is grealty appreciated

In case anybody is interested:
I found another website that has large library of Pro-E models for free...

These models actually come like they are made in Pro-E... :)
