I am trying to create a spur gear and I am having trouble setting a couple parameters. The "PitchDiameter" parameter is not calculating to the correct value and the "BaseDiameter" parameter always throws an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See image attached below.
Thanks,
Ron
You are missing a set of parenthesis around the Cosine. My entries are not in the same order as yours but that makes no difference. Why do you have the conversion in the number of teeth?

Hi John,
Thanks for the quick reply. The conversion in the "NumberOfTeeth" was a user error. The units automatically set it to "inch" and when I changed it to "No Units", it left the conversion there. I've gone and fixed the value to be 35 after I posted this.
As for the "BaseDiameter" formula, I tried adding those open and closed parenthesis as you mentioned but it's still not calculating. The formula stays red.

I see no issue in my Parameter table using your desired data. I have attached my model, containing the parameters, for you inspection. I hope you can find the issue on your end.
