SINGLE-STAGE CYCLOID REDUCER DYNAMIC ANALYSES USING PLM SOFTWARE

Abstract

The new possibilities of modern PLM software contribute to a higher quality and more productive development of new products. Thanks to these software, engineers can respond to very complex market demands in an appropriate timeframe. Especially interesting are the modules for creating much various simulations and dynamic analyzes of the most complex machine assemblies in conditions that are very close to the real conditions of exploitation. In this paper, using the Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks software, a dynamic analysis of single-stage cycloid reducer was performed. The forces calculation that occurs on the elements of this reducer is conducted. Also, these values are compared with the analytically obtained results. The results obtained largely correspond to the analytical calculated values so that the application of PLM software for different types of calculations and analysis in the product development phase is welcome.
