Enveloping or Globoid Worm Gear Help

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am trying to generate an enveloping worm gear assembly using the Worm Gear Generator Dialog box. The autodesk knowledge/help section states globoid (enveloping) worms can be made but doesn't elaborate on which parameter to be use. I have tried a number of things but have gotten stumped, has anyone tried this or able to give some insight into what I need to be looking at in the dialog box?

Heres the link to the knowledge section:

Thanks and look forward to any assistance,

David

Hi,

calculated teeth shape and related formulas can be found here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018...

Can you please better describe what issue are you facing?

Note: generated 3D models are approximate only, far from real shapes. So, they are applicable only for raw visualization.
