Sounds like I found a number of bugs in Solidworks and good subject to make a lesson on.
I am fairly new to Solidworks, however I am not new to 3D CAD.
I made a sector with inner teeth + a gear in the same part. "ratchet one half"
Then I separated them into two different files. "Body1" and "Body2"
Than I started an assembly.
I want there to be a relationship between the outer cog surface (that faces in), the small gear with two surfaces and the inner cog surface (that faces out).
I tried to do this with variables but I cannot make a global variable for this assembly that everything will obey.
I don't see the parent part for one of the sectors so I cannot access the sketch of it. I have to go to the ratchet one half.SLDPRT for that.
But how do I tie it back to the assembly?
The large cog surface has 50 teeth. The small cog surface shoud have 40. The sprocket has 10 teeth and 8 teeth. That is because 5*10=50 and 5*8=40.
This small gear will be at a bisect from both sectors.
I am not sure what is going on in my model.
Please help.
This is a class-related project and if I wont finish it in a month I will have a bad grade.
If you want to make a video on how to make something like this work, I would really appreciate it.
Please help me. Thank you.
Parts will be printed on a 3D printer and made into something that I will have to present.
I hope that I attached everything that is needed to show the problem.
I don't want you to do my work.
If you can explain this on a simpler model, this will be nice, but I am not sure where there are bugs and what problems come from my misunderstanding of the subject matter.
