Description

This element characterices any type of gear box which is fixed in the ground and which has one driving shaft (left) and one driven shaft (right). The gear is ideal, i.e. it does not have inertia, elasticity, damping or backlash. If these effects have to be considered, the gear has to be connected to other elements in an appropriate way.

Parameters

    IdealGear_0

  • ratio [-] : Transmission ratio (flange_a.phi/flange_b.phi) (ratio): Scalar.

Ports

  • Port 1 at left position: implicit input fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at right position: implicit output fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at bottom position: implicit output fixedport numbered 2.
