GearTrax provides the designer with an easy-to-use tool for creating solid models of drive components. It is intuitively easy to use for the designer with limited gear experience yet powerful enough for the gear expert. The animation window shows the spur/helical gear mesh which updates as the data is changed. It is extremely useful in understanding how changes to the gear parameters reflect on the gear mesh.GearTrax is more than a library program. Each part model is created with its specific requirements just as a designer would create it, but rather than taking hours or days, the part is created in seconds.GearTrax creates solid models of spur, helical, rack and face gears, bevel gears, worm gears, involute splines, timing belt pulleys, chain sprockets, V-b lt pulleys, cycloidal drive and elliptical gears. GearTrax also integrates with Excel to create data sheets.
