  6. Step 6

     .

     

  7. Step 7

     Re-orient your model to isometric view shown below.

     

  8. Step 8

     Right click on "Worm Gear" of side menu and turn on "Flexible" mode.

     

  9. Step 9

     Now click
     Assemble>Constrain

     

  10. Step 10

      Following display menu will appear. In place constraint menu you can see the

      "Selection" 1 is active.Select "X Axis" as highlighted with green box in the following

      figure.

      

  11. Step 11

      In place constraint menu you can see the "Selection" 2 is active.Now select "X Axis"

      as highlighted with green box.

      

  12. Step 12

      Then click OK

      

  13. Step 13

      In place constraint menu you can see the "Selection" 1 is active.Now select "Center

      Point" as highlighted with green box.

      

  14. Step 14

      In place constraint menu you can see the "Selection" 2 is active.Now select "Center

      Point" as highlighted with green box.

      

  15. Step 15

      Then click OK

      

  16. Step 16

      Right click on XY Palne shown in side menu, and Turn on its "Visibility".

      

  17. Step 17

      Again open the Place Constraint menu as shown in following figure and select "XY

      Plane" as highlighted with green box.

      

  18. Step 18

      Now Selection 2 of this menu "XY Plane: of Worm Gear as shown in following figure

      with highlighted green box.

      

  19. Step 19

      Click OK.

      

  20. Step 20

      Next step is to constrain "Worm" with XY Plane of "Worm Gear". Now the tangential

      constraint will be selected as shown in following figure.

      

  21. Step 21

      Select "XZ Palne" of Worm as a 1st Selection.

      

  22. Step 22

      Now select "XY Palne" as a 2nd Selection.

      

  23. Step 23

      All Constraints are done.

      

  24. Step 24

      Now Turn off "Visibility" of XY Plane that yoou have turend on in Step 16.

      

  25. Step 25

      Collapse all the menus in side menu.

      

  26. Step 26

      Now click the arrow as highlighted with green box, and select "Modeling View".

      

  27. Step 27

      From Constraints menu, Right click on last constraint shown here, and select

      "Drive Constraint".

      

  28. Step 28

      Following display menu will appear. Now Enter start value as "0 degree" and end

      value as "3600 degree" to get 10 revolutions of worm.

      

  29. Step 29

      Now for advanced setting, click the << button and enter amount of value of

      increment as highlighted.

      

  30. Step 30

      Click Forward button as highlighted, and enjoy Animation or Dynamic Simulation of

      Worm Drive. :-)

      

  31. Step 31

      Here is the Animation.

      

  32. Step 32

      Don't Forget to click "It Worked" here. :-)

     Andreas Gkertsos over 1 year ago

     seems like the animation is going the wrong way:PPP

     @Andreas Gkertsos. Due you can try this, gif files is now showing the real frames here.

     @Andreas Gkertsos.You can animate it in either way. i.e. Clockwise or Anticlockwise. You just have to exchange Start and End values as shown in Step 28.

  It worked but is it important to follow the order of the constraints as given? There were four constraints and not very intuitive as to why at first glance.

  Muy buen material gracias...

  It did not work for me.
  The tutorial was very good but :
  - the spikes of the solids were entering "into" each as the animation was running.
  - this appears to be caused by the wrong constraint created by the wizard between the worm and the worm gear (Inventor 2013). Or I must have inverted the direction of rotation of the worm but I cannot understand how as I followed the tutorial...
  Thanks anyway.
