In-Depth Information
The Calculation tab varies based on the tool, but the information that you
can enter or extract is precisely the information you would need in order to use
engineering criteria to evaluate the components you're creating. You won't use
the Calculation tools for all the tools I will review, but keep in mind that they
are available.
Using the Spur Gear Generator
The Design tab of this dialog box is broken down into three major sections. The
top is the Common area where you specify the tooth characteristics of the gear.
The middle is where you set the requirements for size of the gears that support
the teeth, and the bottom is an information area that will offer feedback on the
design and calculations.

open the c08-06.iam file from the Assemblies\Chapter​8 folder.
2. Hold the Ctrl key, and click the Spur Gear tool on the Power
Transmission panel of the Design tab.
