User can select a profile formulation for an internal gear set. The cycloid type is supported for internal gear set only.
Figure 14.110: Parameters in the creation dialog for involute type internal gear set
| Parameter | Description |
Dimension (Range) |
| 1. Creation Method | Use to set the creation type. When the "Copy" option is selected, the parameters of created gear set can be defined from the parameters of pre-defined gear set. | N/A |
| 2. Profile Method |
Select a profile type. - Involute - Cycloid | N/A |
| 3. Gear Type | Use to select the type of gear. When the "Helical" type is selected, the helix angle and the hand of helix can be activated. | N/A |
