COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING AND DRAFTING OF BEVEL GEARS

This paper deals with development of IT support to the process of designing, calculating and drafting of technical drawings of mechanical products. Using popular software development tools and finding principles and methods of their integration, a more effective CAE/CAD module has been developed in which, process of calculation of bevel gears and generation of its technical drawings are integrated, and the time needed for their creation is significantly reduced. The parametric models for a few particular constructive shapes of the bevel gears have been developed. This CAE/CAD module is meant to be a part of a modular CAE/CAD system for calculation and drafting of technical drawings of different machine elements.
