Mesh Of a Racing Bike Sprocket and Axle

mesh of racing bicycle sprocket and axle

Analysis model developed by TransMotive Technologies, Inc., Santa Rosa, CA. using TrueGrid®. This model was used by TransMotive Technologies, Inc. to do a nonlinear dynamic impact simulation.

The sprocket is not part of the original model. A simple part is constructed and then replicated for each gear. The command file that was used was paramerterized, so that it need be included into TrueGrid® five times. In each inclusion, parameters were set for the number of teeth, the inner radius, and the radius of the cylinder between the teeth. The rest was automatic.
