Bevel Gears feature script generates teeth that interfere with one another
Hi there. I'm trying to use the Bevel Gears feature script to generate a bevel gear pair. Here's the document link: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e1ab8df4bfddae632ed05776/w/8252044a08b1f76aad48388a/e/503112209244d7335deb29a6?renderMode=0&uiState=6714f3d84695cf68beb60713 When I use this feature script, it seems to… -
Bevel gear pair generator
Hi! I started to learn FeatureScript by writing a bevel gear pair generator. I already did such generator using OpenScad, so this is more a port than a complete writing. So far, I successfully generate the gear pair without teeth; gears are represented by their primitive diameters. Here is my code:… -
Re: Where is the FeatureScript source for the sample Spur Gear generator?
In Onshape, you create documents that contain Part Studios, assemblies, drawings, foreign data, Feature Studios, etc. In the case of the spur gear code, it resides in a document that Neil owns called "FeatureScript Spur Gear" which includes a PDF on how to use the spur gear feature, a Part Studio using the feature to… -
Cycloidal Gear Generator
Hi Onshapers! I just finished writing a cycloidal "gear" drive generator. It creates a cycloidal drive train using mathematically correct cycloid curves. I tried to make the UI intuitive. I hope all of the parameters that you would want to adjust are adjustable, but feedback on that would be amazing. Try it out!… -
how do I take a gear profile generated in Gearlabs and put it into my part?
how do I take a gear profile generated in Gearlabs fs and put it into my part? I have a part in which that was done but I can no longer remember how it was done so I am a little stuck. I could create a version of the gearlabs file, insert the one I want into an assembly, and then do a union or something, but I know it… -
Re: FeatureScript User Community Spotlight
It feels like a time to share some results on the field of envelope generation, which where specifically applied for creating tooth shape of gears of different types: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8debf48a92e4eff2ad42217d/ The family of scripts includes two utilities: - geometry tracing utility rotTrace - it creates a… -
Gear Lab - Cylindrical, Bevel, Face Gears
Yup, it's another custom feature for gears. I had previously used Neil Cooke's excellent 'Spur Gear' feature [Link], but I wanted the ability to generate bevel and face gears as well. I only learned about Bob Tipton's great bevel gear FS after I had nearly finished this. I fear that my "Gear Lab" custom feature is largely… -
New custom feature: Arbitrary gear path
hey all! another janky feature from the smidchens household - take whatever path you want (elliptical, polygonal, spline…) and generate gear teeth along that path using local curvature to drive involute profile. snag it here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8f033780ed64a1971e38c2a9/ -
Custom BOM showing only some parts of an assembly
Is there a way to generate a custom BOM on a top level assembly that only shows parts with a certain property? For context, I am trying to create drawings of top level assemblies that may contain 50-100 parts, some of which are inside of sub assemblies, and on these drawings there would be a BOM showing only those parts… -
Re: Update to Spur gear custom feature
I'm not sure what the best approach to contributing to official featurescript, but I've done some improvements/optimizations to the most recent Spur Gear featurescript that might be nice to get in to the official release. I'm not sure how to go about this, or if there are coding standards, procedures, processes, etc I…
