Hi everyone, I recently started a project which requires either an internal bevel gear or a crown gear (something like this) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs/plugins which would make generating something similar easy.
I have make a quick mockup of what I would like it to be but I have no idea if the gears I have created would be funtional or not. I also don't have enough experience with Inventor to be able to simulate motion to see if they would work.
Thanks!

The Gear Generator Design Accelerator within Inventor (must be in Assembly Environment).
You can simulate the motion with Drive Constraint, Inventor Studio Animate Constraint (or Parameter), or in Dymamic Simulation Environment if you have Inventor Professional.

I know about the gear design accelerator but can it make gears like I was describing?
I also understand how to animate motion, but I just havent figured out all the necisary constraints yet.
