Abstract Application domain of the enveloping method is very wide and includes numerous engineering applications. The method has been widely applied for the formation of various surfaces, including gear flanks. So called ‘nondiffferential’ method for enveloping process simulation has been developed; the method makes possible adequate description of the process. The method had laid the foundation for the development of a general-purpose software package which is used for the simulation of screw surface formation by different types of cutting tools, computation of tool profile needed to machine defined screw surface, determination of the profile of a gear tooth machined by a tool with defined geometry, computation of gear contact points coordinates, and other tasks. The computer program is modular in design, with a number of common units for the description of enveloped link geometry, enveloping process simulation, motion description, and units related to the solution of specific applied tasks.

Abstract Most of the existing methods for determining the profiles of cutting tools that work by wrapping are based on the envelope theory which requires cumbersome analytical formulations associated with the solution of equations not always easy to resolve. This work presents a new alternative method for studying conjugated surfaces associated with rolling axodes. The original meshing surfaces are replaced by a family of curves of substitution which gives a simpler interpretation of the envelope theory. The meshing line and the contact points can be easily determined. An equidistant to the tool profile can be simply calculated which can be very useful in the case of machining with cylindrical abrasive disks. Several examples are shown for rack, shaper and rotational cutters.

Abstract A software package MenuCAD has been developed for the general need of designing menu-driven, user-friendly CAD computer programs. The main menu is formatted similar to the major contents in the final report of the design project including Contents, Analysis, Sample Design Cases, Illustrations and Tables, References, and Program Listings. Sub-menus are further divided into items delineating the steps involved in the design. Screen help messages are provided for design of the main menu and sub-menus interactively and for applying the arrow keys on the keyboard to select a sub-menus and a particular item in the sub-menu in order to execute a desired design step. MenuCAD builds the framework, its user has to supplement with a subroutine ExecItem for describing the special features and for directing how each design step should be executed in the project. A CAD design of four-bar linkage project is presented as a sample application of this package.

Helicoidal surfaces correspond to a cathegory of widely spread surfacesin the technical field. From the point of view of the manufacturing of helicoidal surfaces through the moving of a profile around the helix, the two elements defining such a surface can be distinguished: the profile and the helix. The numerical determination of the profile of the disc type tool drawn on an analytical method with a large number of points [1- (the number reaches even 1500 in some cases) implies a great effort so that the technician can verify the correctness of results, even in the present case when there is the possibility of the numerical determination through the resolution of the inverse problem of the frontal profile of the complex helicoidal surface. In order to facilitate this work and to give the possibility of introducing some new profiles in the projection system, some methods of grapho-analytical determination have been conceived to process the profiles of the complex helicoidal surfaces, as well as the profiles of the helicoidal surfaces for a given tool profile. This paper presents the graphic-analytical determination of the disc tool profile designed to dress the complex helicoidal surfaces. The methods referred to by using the possibilities provided by the programming environment AutoCAD and its development languages allow to determin numerically the profile of the disc-cutter with a high precision, above the precision level required in practice.

Gear analysis is typically performed using calculation based on gear standards. Standards provide a good basis in gear geometry calculation for involute gears, but these are unsatisfactory for handling geometry deviations such as tooth flank modifications. The efficient utilization of finite-element calculation also requires the geometry generation to be parameterized. A parameterized numerical approach was developed to create discrete helical gear geometry and contact line by simulating the gear manufacturing, i.e. the hobbing process. This method is based on coordinate transformations and a wide set of numerical calculation points and their synchronization, which permits deviations from common involute geometry. As an example, the model is applied to protuberance tool profile and grinding with tip relief. A fairly low number of calculation points are needed to create tooth flank profiles where error is <1 μm.
