Help me in mate between the gear and the the splined shaft.

Help me in mate between the gear and the the splined shaft.

Help me in mate between the gear and the the splined shaft.

(OP)
Please help me in this question
I have a pair of gear and the splined shaft. I would like to Motion simulation this assembly by Cosmosmotion then export the data to CosmosWork for FEA purpose (Solidwork 2007).
But my problem is: I don't know which mates (coincident, parallel of concentric) are suitable for joint between splined shaft and gear (the gear hub is spined)
Thank for your help

RE: Help me in mate between the gear and the the splined shaft.

You need two mates, a concentric and then an angular constraint of some type, such as a parallel mate between a plane on the shaft and one on the gear, such as a face of the spline in each case. I'm assuming the gear is free to slide along the spline.

Your FEA will not understand this, I suspect.

RE: Help me in mate between the gear and the the splined shaft.

In C/Motion, you can use a concentric mate, then modify it to include constraint on angular and/or axial motion.  If you constrain angular motion and leave axial free, you will have a spline mate that is locked in rotation but can slide axially.

Not sure how well this would transfer to C/Works.

Hello mocxi,

Have you tried adding a mate, selecting Advanced Mates, and then used any of the gear mates available?
