Show the Force Vector between gear teeth in GEAR AT

skaka
Is there any option to display force vectors for gear teeth forces in GEAR AT, just like force vectors in contacts.
Or is it not possible in Gear AT while using flex tooth.

    Hello Skaka,
     
    at the moment there is no direct support but a workaround via cmd language. Enter the following command to query the name of gear force "I Marker":
     
    list_info entity entity_name = .gear_at_cyl_model.external_stage.gear_force_1
    where:
    gear_at_cyl_model - is the model name
    external_stage - the name of the gear force element
    gear_force_1 - is the actual name of the gforce (hardcoded)
     
    ... and copy the name of "I Marker "
     
    Further, enter the following command (single line) with appropriate names of objects:
    geometry create shape force force_name=.gear_at_cyl_model.gear_force_graphics_i force_element_name=.gear_at_cyl_model.external_stage applied_at_marker_name=.gear_at_cyl_model.wheel.gear_part.gear_i
     
    where:
    gear_force_graphics_i - a unique name of the force graphics object
    .gear_at_cyl_model.wheel.gear_part.gear_i - it is an I marker name of the gforce you got from the "list_info" command output
     
    Please make sure that the "Applied Forces" and "Reaction Forces" are toggled ON in the Solver Settings, Category = Output, Output Category = Results (.res) Content
    Hereafter run a simulation, animate results and scale the force and torque graphics as required (in the Main menu go to Setting -> Force Graphics).
     
    I'll raise a request for such an enhancement to be implemented in the future release.
    Greetings,
