How to Draw a Spur Gear Design in Catia | Tutorial

Catia is software used to draw different complex-shaped parts by mechanical engineers. By making use of this software anyone having knowledge of Catia software can draw any part of the machine.
In this tutorial, we are going to see how to design spur gear. Unlike other parts like a shaft, sheet, etc., the spur gear is drawn by a different method.

Spur gear design in CATIA involves the use of some formulae, input parameters, drawing of simple tooth profile, and from that drawing of all other teeth of the spur gear.

Gear Calculations for 20-degree pressure angle.

1. Number of teeth, N=25 (In this case, our design refers to 25 number of teeth. So simply put the number of teeth according to your design)
2. Module, m=3.5 (In this case, our design refers to a 3.5 mm module. Simply put module according to your design)
3. Pitch circle radius, Rp=m*N/2
4. Clearance circle radius, Rb=0.94*Rp
5. Addendum circle radius, Ra=Rp+m
6. Dedendum circle radius, Rd=Rp-1.25*m
