19. DriveTrain

Figure 19.1 DriveTrain example

RecurDyn/DriveTrain (Gear noise, vibration and harshness) is a toolkit in order to simulate mechanism of transmission system among shaft, bearing and gear. Shaft modeler can be utilized so that user can make complex and flexible shaft geometry. Contact analysis of bearing and gear is performed through the solver that KISSsoft supports which is a famous company for Drive Train. Transmission system composed of shaft, gear and bearing can be simulated with these functionalities. RecurDyn/DriveTrain supports all functionalities so that the user can make correct transmission system and simulate it in RecurDyn GUI data base.

Note

Users using RecurDyn/DriveTrain Toolkit must have the Window Media Feature Pack installed on their computer. This has been added as a Requirement in the 2020 version of KISSsoft.

KISSsoft does not work properly on OS with languages that use commas as decimal separators. In this case, Decimal symbol should be changed as ‘,’ to ‘.’ in Control Panel - Region - Additional Settings.

If an error message “Failed to call ‘ExportGear3D_1’ function” occurs when trying to create a gear, try turning off OneDrive Sync in Documents.
