Hi, guys. I am trying to create a true involute curve for a gear tooth.
Strangely, when I use the equation curve function and input the equation, I seem to get the involute of some other circle.
The equation I used was as follows:
X(t) = d2 * ( cos(t) + t * sin(t) )
Y(t) = d2 * ( sin(t) - t * cos(t) )
taken from Wolfram
You are using degrees instead of radians as input to sin and cos.
Open the part
Edit the sketch
Right click on curve->Edit Equation Curve
Select 'Show Units'
note that cos and sin have degrees, not radians -> "d2 * ( sin(1 deg * t) - t * cos(1 deg * t)"
You can manually replace 'deg' with 'rad' in the edit box.
Also, reduce the 't' value upper evaluation down from 900 to 20 or so, or you will be waiting a while.
